Unfortunately every pre-existing Javascript thingy I've looked at
assumes that I have a simple tree.  I don't, I have a *table*, which has
a hierarchy.

Also, none of them make it obvious that they degrade gracefully for
browsers which support neither CSS nor Javascript.

Anyway, I have something that partially works now:
  http://cpandeps-dev.cantrell.org.uk/?module=Test::Class::Most

with just the *teensy* little bug that if you first collapse a sub-tree
(like, say, that for Test::Exception on that page) and then collapse a
tree that contains it, it Does The Wrong Thing.  Meh, nothing that a
small amount of programming can't fix.

    You are so cynical.  And by "cynical", of course, I mean "correct".
