I know in advance that my target grammar is complex.  So I would like to 
start at the lower, simpler levels and start testing my lexeme and grammar 
rules as I write them.

* Can I change the starting rule of a (SLIF) grammar at runtime?  I would 
like to test very basic rules -- the kind that I'll only see in slices far 
into a file -- (bottom-up) before defining the grammar from the top down.  
If I can specify a rule and a string (to G->parse or R->read), I can write 
easy regression tests that each rule recognizes valid strings and rejects 
invalid strings.  I could modify the grammar file(s) for each test, but 
that seems like a bad idea.  I'm all ears if there's a better way to do 
this.

* At a higher level, can you point me to any great examples of regression 
tests for a Marpa grammar?  

* Even more generally, how do people develop and test a Marpa grammar?

Thanks!

- Ryan
