added votes and lots of modifications based on your code

I very much enjoyed reading your code and feel like I learned heaps: double bang and po-ro and lots more. I don't know what the hell is at the bottom of the test helper, but I will ask.

I spent so much reviewing and coming to understand what you had done, that when I ran into a complicated schema issue, it was already late. My "corrections" made things worse for a while. Once I got on track, I simply ran out of time. So this is not complete, error-free, failure-free, or styled well. It will be, as soon as possible.
