Thank you enormously.   I did do a first draft of the code last night,
not yet interpreting, but it is a bit of a tangle.  By just using python
floats in the simulation, it will all get much easier.   I can simplify
things hugely for the first release.

Maybe that will also be easier to export than a hierarchical
representation.  Back to reading the source code.  There is good
documentation in the spec directory of the source code.
