The only challenge I see is the matcher.  That is, I can create a test
document, based on Jambunathan's, but I don't know the best way to write
the tests.  I suppose some form of regular expression is The Right Thing.

There must be a better solution, though --- I figure someone must have a
good way to match text files against expectations.  I just don't know
what that way is.
