Reladomo Kata

A kata is an exercise in martial arts. A code kata is an exercise in programming which helps hone your skills through practice and repetition. The Reladomo Kata is a fun way to help you learn idiomatic Reladomo usage. This particular kata is set up as a series of unit tests which fail. Your task is to make them pass, using Reladomo.
