a3158ba034 continuing work on building a better test tree.
TODO have the iterator return a block ID and its indentation level.
this will facilitate actually rendering the block content properly.

b70693edce implement iterator for blocktreenode
this makes more sense as a useful iterator because block ids are
copy. This can be used to implement mutable/immutable reference
iteration for NotePage.

# outline-rs # Outline-rs
lightweight relational database-backed personal knowledge management outliner
*Very* under construction!
## Motivation
Two PKM apps I've tried use Electron frontends, and I want a library that can
back different frontends depending on the environment. I have been
using a low-power ARM laptop recently and I can't be running a whole browser
engine just to take notes.
Also, containing all note data in a database will allow for extending with
sync servers as a first-class experience rather than an afterthought.
Using this as a project to learn rust as I go.

# Note that in order to support legacy alembic.ini files, this default does NOT
# take place if path_separator is not present in alembic.ini. If this
# option is omitted entirely, fallback logic is as follows:
#
# 1. Parsing of the version_locations option falls back to using the legacy
# "version_path_separator" key, which if absent then falls back to the legacy
# behavior of splitting on spaces and/or commas.
# 2. Parsing of the prepend_sys_path option falls back to the legacy
# behavior of splitting on spaces, commas, or colons.
#
# Valid values for path_separator are:
#
# path_separator = :
# path_separator = ;
# path_separator = space
# path_separator = newline

# Use os.pathsep. Default configuration used for new projects.
