I'm see that your actively working in this area, so just fyi:

I've been making quite a few changes today, so it is very much possible that some things are broken indeed. I should have made an other branch I guess but oh well.

I usually check the test suite before committing, but it doesn't test the synopsis. I suppose I could make a test file for it too.
