+This folder contains a V project,
+intended to be used as a demonstration
+for how to test functions defined inside 
+a main module.
+
+See my_test.v and my_other_test.v .
+These files work as any other internal module tests,
+i.e. they do `module main` at their top, so that v knows,
+that they are internal tests, and for which module they apply.
+
+When you do `v my_test.v`, v will try to find other *.v files in 
+the same folder that also have `module main` at their top,
+then it will process them and process the my_test.v file too.
+
+The v `fn main(){}` function that you most likely also have will get
+compiled as normal to `void main__main(){...}`, but it will NOT be 
+called by anything, so it will not mess up your tests.
+
+Instead, your test_ functions will get called inside the generated
+`int main(){...}` test runner, just like it is the case with all _test.v
+files (internal or external ones).
+
+NB: each _test.v file is compiled separately from all other _test.v
+files, so you can have conflicting test_ functions in them without a
+problem too.
