For this to be thinkable, and for the test to be
fair, Parrot must be at least as semantically
'broad' as CPython (ie, handle every possible
meaning of every bytecode).  So I would include at
least the syntax and standard lib test files (-
exec and eval tests) as part of the benchmark.
This also gets to the 'provably correct' aspect of
the rules.
