To make it easier on people writing these tests, it might be nice for
this to be less noisy by getting rid of "@" and "\". To get rid of
"\", the test program could grab its script commands from stdin (one
instruction per line) rather than from argv[]. For instance:

     test-json-writer >actual <<-\EOF &&
         object
             object-string a abc
             ...
         end
     EOF

Not a big deal, and certainly not worth a re-roll.


I hadn't thought about doing it that way.  Might be a little easier
to use.  Let me take a look and see if it would be much work to switch.

Thanks
Jeff
