Great, I'll take a crack at it.

As an aside, I was trying to grasp the difference between "Save/Load 
Expectations" and "Save/Load Results".  It's a bit confusing.  Since the 
file formats are the same, do the two concepts exist simply for semantic 
reasons?  I suppose I could save twelve result sets for twelve different 
runs and then have one expectations file that contains the desired 
result set.... but I could use either operation to do so, right?
