Well, given the recent breakage because of the support for 'deprecated',
I started on a test file, but I think that a better and more fundamental
approach is needed. My idea was to create a large number of small files
with code fragments. The test application reads the fragments and puts
them in a unit (interface/implementation) and attempts to scan/parse it.
After that, it's just a matter of creating the code fragments.
A nice idea, but what about verification of the result? Not getting
exceptions is not necessarily a sign of a properly working parser, with
decent error recovery.
That is step 2. Step 1 is proper parsing. Can't do step 2 if you don't
have step 1. You can't run before you can walk...
