 [http://falcao.it/sure/reference.html sure]? It's perfect for testing the
 parsers; I'vehttp://falcao.it/sure/reference.html used it in
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/isis/bridgedb.git/blob/HEAD:/lib/bridgedb/test/test_parse_networkstatus.py#l116
 a couple test files] already, i.e.:

 > this(port).should.be.ok
 > this(port).should.be.a(networkstatus.addr.PortList)

 > It's pretty terse and readable, plus the crazy syntax made writing tests
 more entertaining. (You don't have to use it, this is just a general "hey
 dude! check out this neat thing!" :D )

 > The following commands are also supported:
