[tapx-dev] TAP YAML diagnostics

[Ovid]

Hi all,

I've just started hacking together TAP::Diagnostics.  This would be a
simple helper module that allows test authors to spit out the YAMLish
diagnostics envisioned for future versions of TAP.  I have some
specific ideas on how to make this work, but we need to agree on the
format.  For ideas:

  http://testanything.org/wiki/index.php/TAP_diagnostic_syntax

If we can't come to a consensus, I'll plow ahead regardless.  As usual,
this means I might create something that no one likes.  What I'd prefer
to define is the *minimum* required keys in the YAML diagnostics and
perhaps an optional set of *may have* keys (which might be optionally
enabled for deeper debugging).

Minimum required:

  wanted
  found
  line
  file
  description

I think that's a decent minimal set of required keys.   Is this OK with
everyone?

Cheers,
Ovid
