  Description     : Perl module to test that modules export the right symbols

Test::Exports provides simple test functions for testing other modules
"import" methods. Testing is currently limited to checking which subs have been
imported.

In order to keep different calls to ->import separate, Test::Exports performs
these calls from a private package. The symbol-testing functions then test
whether or not symbols are present in this private package, ensuring none of
this interferes with your test script itself.

Test::Exports is a build dependency of Readonly::Tiny which will be used
by lintian (https://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2021/07/msg00000.html)
