Maybe there are no good places to start ;-)
Adding code in the area of syntax processing that nobody here
understands is shoving *somebody* into the lion's den. It is full
of both subtle semantics and performance pitfalls.
Seems promising!
Adding tests isn't that hard. If you've not done it before,
yes, it
will seem forbidding and (probably) underdocumented. But helping
people to add tests (and learn to do it themselves in the process)
is something I will always make time for.
I've been playing with it a little so I think I can crawl.
I guess the real problem is that I don't know what I should test and
what the right response is! So if you have some good tests for
parse-partial-sexp laying around... Without that I think I will make
up some simple tests and go for a patch for getting views.
Yours
