During initial development, I was very glad to have the one-line-
per-permutation summary; however, lately I've been wishing for more
detail, such as is available with this approach.  At least for the
moment, what this provides is exactly what is most useful.  If there
is ever a major refactoring (versus incremental enhancements), it
might be worth developing a way to filter the detailed input into the
sort of summary we were getting from dtester, but we can cross that
bridge when (and if) we come to it.
