 Currently, to run a test against a whole input file, that file needs to be
 cut&paste into the test module. It would be much more user friendly if
 Augeas supported either or both of these methods to read a file into a
 test:

  1. Allow shell-like HERE documents
  2. Add a primitive 'string_from_file: string -> string' that takes a
 filename and returns a string with the file's contents
