I committed Eddie's math.pure test as test020.pure now, massaged 
somewhat to produce a nicely formatted test log. (r563)

You can see the results at:

http://pure-lang.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-lang/pure/trunk/test/test020.log?revision=563

Watch out for the line reading "*** UNARY ***", that's where the 
relevant stuff starts. Each line lists the function/operator, arguments 
and the result. Failed (i.e., irreducible) computations are flagged with 
'__failed__', exceptions with '__error__'. I already skimmed over these 
and AFAICT they should be ok.

What remains is the unattractive task to check all the untagged results. 
As we say over here, that's a "job for someone who killed mom and dad", 
so I'd rather suggest that we take a "many eyes" approach to that. 
Everyone here who feels like it and has some spare time on his hands can 
just scan a few results at a time and report on the mailing list if he 
notices anything suspicious.

(Eddie, maybe we should also add another check on the result type and 
flag results which aren't numbers? I leave that up to you.)

Cheers,
Albert
