when running 2 different instances of this, the 2nd instance doesn't crash but instead waits for 1st instance to die before handling requests. I could see how that's a useful...

[RFC] allow syntax sugar for automatically generating routes from procs as in D:vibe's registerWebInterface

/cc @Araq @dom96 in D [vibe](http://vibed.org/docs), is D's analog to jester. Some ideas could be borrowed, one of them is a nice syntax sugar to avoid boilerplate in defining routes:...

`nimble install --retry:N` for network commands that can fail

2

testament uses: `discard tryCommand("nimble install --depsOnly -y", maxRetries = 3)` (which calls `retryCall`) so that it retries on error, but that's not satisfying because only networkd commands should be retried....

* at very least (and in meantime) a caveat should be mentioned in `--help` that `nimble test --nim:path` is not 100% reliable, and explain that tests (or other tasks) that...

Command to retrieve path to .nimble file
