Suggestion: Provide reference input-output data #1

I appreciate this work a lot. It plays an important role as a single-source reference implementation.

My question is, would it be enhanced by also providing a reference input-output data set?

Since the code is pseudo-code, it's impossible to execute it directly and anyone replicating it in other languages has no way to verify that they did it correctly. The reference input-output data could be used in a user's unit tests for code verification etc.

Thank you Bill, this is a great idea. Once we find the time we plan to make an executable implementation, and including some sort of test input so that persons can verify their individual implementations indeed sounds like a good idea!
