Actually, cf-promises WILL parse the file for syntax errors. While not exactly
the case, classes are "run time" and syntax is "compile time" (except, as you
correctly observer, when classes are used for selective compilation). So you
could do this:
cf-promises -Dmonitor
and get your desired syntax checking :-)
