Try'em out?

Try to Edebug (i.e. hit C-u C-M-x when inside a function's code, so as
to cause stepping through it next time it's run), or use M-x trace-function.

I took a very brief&superficial look at the code and it looks sane,
other than trivial details like "grammer" instead of "grammar" or the
"\\.namelist" regexp which should probably be "\\.namelist\\'" instead.
