There is no need to write code to test protocols or "interfaces" they are
designed and they can be used to present a design for someone else to
implement... they contain not implementation and thus there is nothing to
test... but I'm surprised that people don't seem to have a problem with
@protocol not being checked for syntax (unless as said before they are
referenced by an implementing class)

Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't you have to write some test
code to see if your protocols work as expected anyway?
