unit testing has proven unreliable because it ultimately depends on ci runtime internals and how they run tests. instead it would be better to use scripted integrations tests

It could just be a little script that runs some of the examples in the readme https://github.com/softprops/atty/blob/master/README.md#testing and using a diff tool to compare the output to expected outputs.
