Wow, this is excellent, thanks! Is this test based on the rules grammar that is currently in pugs/trunk/modules/Grammars/rx_grammar.pl? (It appears so.) If yes, can I propose that we go ahead and clean up that grammar definition a bit, and then build the test off of that? (My use of "we" here explicitly includes "me".) Some of the rules listed in rx_grammar.pl are not as I think they should be, so it might be productive to hammer out a better working definition for the syntax and then build the test. (Plus, we may be able to use this as a good reason to get the PGE test suite to directly read and test rx_grammar.pl, so that we don't have to manually maintain both.) So, if you're in agreement, shall I post my changes to rx_grammar.pl for discussion (to perl6-compiler)? Or should we take a different approach? Thanks, Pm
