In particular, remember that GFM adds line breaks at single newlines, so just forget about the 70 characters wide rule.

-All new features must have tests. While we don't require unit tests, which are too hard to do in certain cases, you should create a test under the `test/` directory with a predictable name which allows other users to quickly test your feature. Good tests should explain their expected input / output behavior. Failing test should be marked with `FAIL` somewhere near the test, possibly explaining why it fails. For example:
+All new features must have tests. We don't require unit tests: tests that require users to open markdown code in Vim and check things manually are accepted, but you should point clearly to where the tests are.
