Token IO testing

Token IO testing

[Mike Gran]

Hi all-

A month or so ago, I mentioned a script that I had to examine
how unusually formed numbers and strings are displayed. [1]

I started thinking if I could formally generate such a script
that covers the whole range of possible R6RS strings, symbols,
chars, and numbers.

At my space on github [2], I've made a small project called
token-io-test.  It contains a script that I generated that
should cover most of the R6RS lexical syntax for those tokens.

In the same location are sample outputs from the Schemes to which
I have access.

Not very interesting in and of itself, but, quite interesting when
you diff the output from one Scheme with the output of another.

Thanks,

Mike Gran

Woow, interesting, and slightly scary too, esp. when looking at the
number of differences between 1.8 and 2.0...

Thanks,
