Thanks for the feedback (and the kick in the pants I needed to finally get my hands dirty with gexps)! I've incorporated all of your comments. I'd like to note, though, that the tests are apparently entirely manual. I asked the developer how tests should be run and the response was essentially, "compile the project and use it." For what it's worth, I have indeed compiled and used this project in the past, so it should work fine.
