Testing #15

For testing resyntax, I wrote #lang resyntax/testing/refactoring-test so I could easily write tests like this. Is that an approach that would benefit fmt as well?

Thanks for the offer!

I have tests in the directory https://github.com/sorawee/fmt/tree/master/tests. After I change fmt, I would run regen.rkt to regenerate all formatted files. Then, I would manually inspect the diff when I'm about the commit the change. This seems like a perfect workflow since I want to see the effect of the change anyway.

Since formatting is mostly about aesthetics, there's no hard specification, so I think a rigid testing framework might not be worth it (or at least, not worth it at the current stage of development).

Therefore, I think I will close this issue, but if you have any thoughts, let me know!
