Yes, I think so�� it would of course be better to have a larger scale regression test suite, but for now ��recompiling the image��
is the thing we do to check the compiler

Ok. My issue was a kind of versionning effect on the parser, and a process like:

- recover and store all asts for all methods

- apply a change to RBParser

- reparse all methods one by one and compare ASTs with previous

We have good GUI tools for manipulating packages, but sometimes I'd like to have a branch concept inside the image which says:

- revert to master,

- do something,

- switch to branch (and load your changes),

- continue something to validate
