Sure, would be good. First I'm going to work on documenting the
compiler though, so there's something to test. But honestly speaking,
I'm not going to go on a spree of unit-test writing -- I write them as I
find bugs, but not much otherwise.
So, ahem, what I mean to say is that the small number of tests reflects
the small number of bugs, or something? ;-)

Sure, and at some point I'll switch to benchmarking and optimization --
but in the meantime perhaps someone whose named ends in udovic Courtès
could make make a benchmarking suite? ;-)) I hear you're all finished
with the BDW GC branch, right? :)
Back to the hack,
