I'm certainly interested in such tests - to give some assurance when I'm
(say) hacking the C parser that I'm not breaking ObjC in the process, and
also on the general principle that language features should have tests (I
won't want us to claim C99 implementation, even once all the features are
there, until the standards tests gcc.dg/c99-*.c thoroughly cover all the
new features without failures). I can't guarantee the interest of someone
with authority to approve them though.
