-/When a command is expected, the line "#X#" is printed, where X is the number of
-/the request, starting a 0 and incremented after each processed request.
-[test_incrementing_counter]
-
-/Requests are spanned on multiple lines. The first line is the command, the
-/following lines are parameters (one parameter per line unless stated otherwise).
-[statement]
-
-/Requests are all blocking. As they are read from stdin using readline(),
-/they can be buffered in stdin.
-[test_queuecommands]
-
-/When the number of parameters or returns is variable, it should be indicated
-/first.
-/When a parameter or returned value is not one line of printable characters,
-/its length as returned by len() should be indicated first.
-[statement]
-
-/When gatherer is expected to write in a file, its parent directory should exist
-/and it will be opened with the "w" flag (unless stated otherwise).
-[statement]
-
-/No timeout handling should be implemented in gatherer.
-[statement]
-
-SIGINT should stop the current request parsing or execution,
-write '#X# INTERRUPTED' to stderr where X is the number of the request,
-then continue the normal flow of execution including incrementing the request
-number.
-
-/stderr is only used:
-/- by Python to display exceptions;
-/- to print "ALIVE" when SIGUSR1 is received or after a "ping" request;
-/- to print "UNKNOWN COMMAND" when a command is unknown;
-/- to print "INTERRUPTED #X#" when a command is interrupted with SIGINT.
