Getting it to work on ACAD 2017+

[thelegendofbrian]

It didn't seem to work for ACAD 2018 or 2020 (tested on C3D vertical). The ACAD date variable was silently changed in ACAD 2017+, so it broke the timer functionality.

Known issues:

• The test time outputs 0ms sometimes if the test takes under ~15ms, even if running the same test back to back. It seems to be related to ACAD not refreshing the counter often enough, though I'm not sure.

Example success:

ALUnit version 1.0
.......
Time: 62 ms

OK (7 tests run)

Example failure:

ALUnit version 1.0
......X
Time: 0 ms
1. round-num-test(NOT (nil)) returned T instead of nil.

FAILURES!!!
Tests run: 7, Failures: 1

Regarding the first commit: It's been a long time since I worked on this and I don't have an AutoCAD environment now to test things, but are you sure you're correctly adding a list to each test when you create the tests?

The documentation for the defineTest function says that expressions should be a list. It seems like that should work correctly with the foreach. (And wouldn't work correctly with an eval.)

(Making defineTest automatically turn a single expression into a list or otherwise correctly handle a single expression might be a nice feature, but I think we need to be able to handle multiple expressions, too.)

Nice work on the timing stuff! Please double-check how you're creating tests as I mentioned above and get back to me about whether that makes things work or not (so we can avoid unnecessary changes if possible).

This looks like good stuff, but I don't think it should go in this release file. Could you create a new release file for these changes? v1.1.0 sounds right to me as this is an important change, but shouldn't break anything, right?

I can't test these timing change now, but this seems like a good approach. Nice work!
