Hi!

While developing a font-lock package for CMake, I realized that there was
no way to regression-test it. So, I wrote a package for that as well. It's
called "faceup" and is based on a plain-text representation of texts with
faces and is designed to be used with the "ert" regression test system.

The package itself can be found at https://github.com/Lindydancer/faceup

To see this package in action, see the see the "test" directory of
https://github.com/Lindydancer/cmake-font-lock . The tests range from small
snippets to real-world CMake source files.

When I mentioned this package to Stefan Monnier, he suggested that I should
submit it for inclusion, so here it is.

No objection in 2 years: I think you should feel free to use your commit
