Description

There are many ways that the test suite could be improved. For example:

  • The same inputs could be run with a variety of configs, like:
    • 2- or 4-space indents
    • 60, 80, or 120 width columns
    • free, left, or multiple indent policy
  • Testing some larger files or groups of files, like:
    • Brittany itself (#238)
    • test suites from other projects like hindent
    • all of Stackage
    • all of Hackage

Research direction
The issue lists several test suite improvements without a concrete deliverable. Start by examining the current test structure in the repository (see `test/` directory) and the existing test suite's scope. Consider picking one suggested improvement, such as running tests with varying indent widths or integrating larger codebases (e.g., Brittany itself). Look at the comment thread for any additional guidance from maintainers.
