No, debugging of rules is not that hard:
1) Comment out other rules.
2) Clone rule many times.
3) Reduce rules incrementally going from bottom to the top. So we have
# other rules
aa
aabb
aabbcc
# other rules
instead of
other rules
aabbcc
other rules
4) Add unique labels for each output to bypass dupes suppression
aa Az" (variant 1)"
aabb Az" (variant 2)"
aabbcc Az" (variant 3)"
One could use a one-liner to do the job:
perl -lpe 's/$/$k++; qq{ Az" (variant $k)"}/e'
Editors like emacs and vim allow user to pass some region through
a filter easily (emacs: having active region C-u M-| ..., vim: V
<selection> ! ...).
5) Run failing test and see where is the problem, dig there.
...
aa Az" (variant 1)"
aab Az" (variant 1.5)"
aabb Az" (variant 2)"
...

Multiline expressions could be evaluated too using global vars to
store state between candidates / lines of input. So Turing complete
interpreter could implemented. When external mode will get ability to
produce many candidates from one line of input such interpreter could
be used to generate candidates or something else. Maybe john would be
able to compile itself someday. %-)
Thanks!
