+In this directory, we test the integrity of the cql-java tools as
+follows:
+
+* Generate a random tree with CQLGenerate
+* Take a copy
+* Canonicalise it with CQLparser -c.
+* Compare the before-and-after versions.
+
+ Since the CQLGenerate output is in canonical form anyway, the
+ before-and-after versions should be identical. This process
+ exercises the comprehensiveness and bullet-proofing of the parser,
+ as well as the accuracy of the rendering.
