Preceptor Core Components

Preceptor-Core is a foundational JavaScript library designed to provide shared components for the Preceptor test runner and aggregator ecosystem. It exposes a `Base` object intended for inheritance, featuring an `extend` method that supports a `__super` call mechanism for methods, mimicking classical inheritance patterns. Additionally, it offers a `utils` module with common utility functions like `deepExtend` and `combine`, and a centralized `log` management system. Currently at version 0.10.1, the package appears to be unmaintained, with its last update several years ago. Its primary use case was as an internal dependency for the Preceptor project. As such, it does not have an active release cadence and is likely incompatible with modern Node.js versions or ES module environments.
