Test function for check_prior_support() function

[adj-smith]

See pull request #253 for the function being tested by this script.

hey @adj-smith, nice test. Just a few things:

• Can you commit this to your patch-1 branch, so that PR #253 automatically gets updated. That way we don't have two separate PRs (and we'll just close this one)
• For automated tests, we don't expect a user to look at the outputs unless things fail. So instead, we use assert statements or exceptions for pass/fail: no assertion fails or exceptions on test pass, and either an assertion fail or an uncaught exception for test tail. Can you modify your test to do that?
• We typically wrap the function calls with if __name__ == "__main__" at the bottom of the file. This prevents the test being called twice in the pytest framework, and the bottom call only runs if a user runs it manually from the command line.

Check out some of our other tests for examples. Thanks!

Done. I was trying to work out how to include the test in my other pull request. Now I know. Thanks!

thanks! closing this PR to review changes in #253 instead.
