How to organize package code #66

The book is about testing but you'll have less things to test if you re-use helper code across your packages.

Having a general function à la gh::gh() for making requests for instance.

Make it easier to add support to more endpoints (and if you export some helpers, users could call endpoints for which there's no high-level helpers)

E.g. if you used webfakes to create a fake app then you wouldn't need the fake app to re-create all endpoints of the real thing and your code would still be tested well.
