Agreed, it's pretty inefficient. (For comparison, it runs in about two
seconds on my machine, so I hadn't noticed how bad it had gotten.
Thanks for pointing it out.)

The hammer I had available at the time was
Perl-plus-compiled-executable. But I've just recently added a C-based
TAP suite in 4e1e417330d4, so I could try to port this suite over in
that direction. (Or I could find a way to port it to pytest... but C
seems like a better fit for testing the parser, in part because it'll
be more easily fuzzable that way.)
