Add testing.NIE.
Add the --jvmargs option to pytest (see pytest_addoption()).
Remove Context.get_config_file(), get_path(), load_config(), and units(), all deprecated since 2021-02-28.

Add identify_nodes(), a function for identifying a Node code lists based on a Scenario (PR #24).

Add model.disutility, code for setting up structure and data for generalized consumer disutility (PR #13)

Migrate model.bare, model.build, model.cli, and associated documentation (PR #9)
Migrate utilities: ScenarioInfo, add_par_data(), eval_anno(), iter_parameters(), and strip_par_data().

Migrate util.click, util.logging; expand documentation (PR #8:).
