It would be great to know a little bit about the internals of the "explanation engine".


The colorizer does most of the grunt work, it tokenizes the regex and colors it properly. The explainer then basically just loops over those tokens and explain them. It's a bit hacked together as it works right now though; but it seems to do the trick. The explainer does some additional error-checking which the colorizer doesn't have enough resources to do as well. Anything in particular you want to know?
