For what it's worth, it looks to me a bit wordy.  I'd like to see at
most a handful of screenfuls of text.  It's a difficult balance to
strike.  But if (as I hope) this is to be useful as a tool whose
output we may see regularly on the mailing list, it should not be too
wordy, or require a web browser, or reside within another tool that
needs to be installed.
