So this evening I added,and committed, tests for the test impls of
ICoreResource and IResourceRoot.

I'm thinking that this impl will be vital in testing Namespace
resolution. In fact I'm starting to see how the Eclipse implementation
might extend what is now an almost complete impl of ICoreResource and
IResourceRoot.

I may move them out of the tests and into the main as an
implementation IDE implementers may extend, or not as they see fit. In
fact, it may serve more as an example since implementers may see that
building a completely custom implementation is better suited/optimized
for their platform.

That said, I have not moved anything out of test yet.

While writing the tests I've noticed that this resource thingy is
complicated! Never really dawned on me before as what is now api
evolved over a long time a little bit at a time.

Would cool if there was a reusable test suite that someone could plug
my implementation into and then their implementation into to ensure
they both pass the same test. Would mean sharing fixtures. Kinda like
a compatibility test suite - does your implementation meet the
standard needed by the builder?

Have no idea yet how such a thing would be built.
