If someone knows xUnit (and people interested in testing packages
probably will[1]) then they can probably pick up xlunit or some other
xUnit descendent pretty quickly.  When they're ready for the
(arguably?) more powerful or more Lispy packages, they'll know where
to look.  :)

[1] I have no proof for this assertion, only the observation that Java
currently appears more popular than Lisp, and JUnit appears (to me) as
the clear leader of Java testing frameworks.
