WOTest enhancements

Plenty of extensive refactoring today; the most pervasive example being that all tests are now executed using a wrapper macro, WO_TEST_WRAPPER, that serves to isolate uncaught exceptions.

Location caching

WOTest now caches the last known location (file path and line number) during testing so that if you get an uncaught exception you can click on the Xcode build results window and be taken directly to the source file which is the most likely culprit. Doesn't always help, but often does. Also added a WO_TEST_START macro that you can use to immediately cache the location if you're writing highly experimental tests and there's a high likelihood of raising uncaught exceptions outside of your tests (tests already catch them for you) but inside your test methods.

Coca-Cola "Zero"

Tried it for the first time yesterday. Frighteningly good. I haven't drunk normal (non-diet) Coke for a long time, but it seems to me that Zero really does taste just like the original. Except it doesn't destroy your teeth.

Locale settings

I'm not longer using LC_ALL to have stuff in Spanish (es_ES.UTF-8) because it can cause garbled characters to appear in my source code when I do automated build date updating (for example, sábado, the Spanish name for "Saturday" includes a non-ASCII character). So now I'm setting LANG to Spanish and LC_TIME to en_US.UTF-8; this should give me Spanish everything, except for dates.

A new feature request for Xcode

I want single-line documentation comments to be syntax highlighted. Looks like no amount of pblangspec trickery can be employed to get it; changes need to made to Xcode itself.
