Part of that is because it is more flexible than the other methods. For example, the array-user code deals with RowStatus. It is also more modular. Where the iterator code generates on big long function with lots of nested switch statements, array-user uses functions to separate functionality. I find it much easier to grasp a what several small 100 line functions are doing than to follow the while/if/then/switch maze of a single 500 line function.

As far as documentation, I tried to put a lot of comments in the code. In particular, if you search on TODO, you'll find hints where you need to add code. Unfortunately, I don't have time to come up with more documentation at the moment, but I'll be glad to answer questions when you get stuck or confused.

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
