Hey,

We definitely need to make this easier, by providing a very simple API 
or actually doing it automatically when you test with Grok somehow.

Hm, I recommend against reusing anything from 'grok.test', as it's 
really test code that might change at some point. For instance, I hope 
to eventually rewrite the Grok tests to have no more separation between 
grokked module and tests themselves, as martian now allows you to grok 
individual components from a doctest.
