synopsis regression testing

Hi there,

this is just a little note to let you know that I'v put a
regression test report online at http://synopsis.fresco.org/tests/.

Having worked with a test suite for the various synopsis APIs for
several years, my main focus over the recent months has been the
low level C++ parser code, meaning the higher level (python) APIs
have suffered some.
I'm now in the process of getting these regressions sorted out,
and then wrap up for the next release (0.8).

Even though the new C++ APIs won't be really usable for end-users
quite yet, some potential contributors may be interested in watching
synopsis' capabilities concerning syntactic and semantic code analysis.
I'd therefor like to work on some documentation, together with
a well-documented test suite that can act as a status-reporting tool.

For example, the whole 'C++ Parser (C++ API)' suite is new, and
I'm slowly working towards 100% pass. The current tests mainly cover
symbol lookup (basically section 3.4 of the C++ specification).

If someone has suggestions for more tests covering new territory
such as type analysis, template instantiation, etc., I'd be very
interested in any contribution.

Regards,
