Hi Michael,

this approach would be similar to the root file checker already
included in the "tools directory.  Maybe this approach is now the
better one because we can recheck this tool against existing correct
root files, which should make it easy to find errors in the
expressions.

As such a tool should be well tested and I have to try out BDD
(Behaviour Driven Development) I will try, to combine these and create
a little software for this task. 

I will report back when  I have results.
