Nailing Down the Nomenclature

I have finally settled on test_class and test_module as thew new toplevel method for defining Lemon test cases. I decided against reusing test_case from Citron b/c I determined it is best that these types of test cases not be mixed together, but rather stay cleanly separated.

I also decided against the original KO inspired nomenclature of Test.case. Though it looks very cool at first glance, in the end it goes against the grain. For instance, would one design an RSpec-stlye nomenclature as Test.describe, or a Cucumber-style nomenclature using Test.feature? While one could do so, it's completely uneccessry.
