So here's what I came up with (deciding to barrel foward with some rework and cleanup of the existing algorithm primarily as an exercise. I really was going to(and in fact already had) put BrowserUk's code in the main script. But the more I look at the result of the cleanup the more I like it. Computing rather than attrition makes for longer code. But it appeals more to my sense of order.

Yeah I have to put exception handling in there. The code as it stands is awfully 'happy path'. But I'll trap errors in the input data going in to the primary function for now, then worry about the support functions later on.

Thanks again to tye for the encouragement and help with the "is_deeply" and "is not ok" stuff. o/
