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
