Comment (by noisysocks):

 This is looking good!

 I received this error when running `npm run env:reset` with the containers
 running:

 {{{
 ERROR: Failed to remove image for service mysql: 409 Client Error:
 Conflict ("conflict: unable to remove repository reference "mysql:5.7"
 (must force) - container 015b4262f1c1 is using its referenced image
 f6509bac4980")
 }}}

 Other more minor notes:

 - I still am wishing `npm run dev` ran `grunt watch --dev`. I understand
 the desire for consistency between `npm` and `grunt`, though.
 - It's awkward that `npm run test:php`, on first run, gives you an error
 about a missing `wp-tests-config.php` file with no clues on how to set one
 up using the built-in MySQL container.
 - I received 'connection refused' errors when testing with PHP 5.3 and
 5.4, and a WordPress error when using PHP 5.5.
 - It would be neat if `LOCAL_PHP=7.4-fpm` worked so that we could test
 against the upcoming PHP release.
 - I wasn't able to access WP Admin with MySQL set to use anything earlier
 than 5.6.
 - How does one access the nginx error log? It might be useful to document
 this in e.g. a handbook page for this tool.
 - The `README` is a nice addition, but I wonder if it goes into too much
 detail? Thinking it might be less confronting if we have `README` just
 outline how to start and stop the development environment, and then link
 to a handbook page which has more thorough documentation on `local-env`.
 - Awkward phrasing in the `README`: I suggest "WordPress is a PHP/MySQL-
 based project. We have a basic development" instead of "WordPress is a PHP
 /MySQL-based project, we have a basic development".
 - Typo in the `README`: Should say `npm run env:cli`, not `npm run env-
 cli`.
