I use an internal test suite. Unfortunately, due to it being an unholy
amalgamation of bits and pieces, the license of it is unclear and so I can't
publish it. But a good start would be to compile phobos and run all the unit
tests.

I guess it's a matter of creating a tester for each corner of the spec 
and covering various cases.  Here's an idea.  Let's all get together and 
develop a suite of unit tests.

Of course, cleaning up the remaining bugs/unclarities in the spec itself 
would certainly help....

I suppose some of the bug testcases that have been posted on D and here 
could serve as a starting point....
