I have just had a very quick look and this certainly looks very promising!
Well done!

I now wonder whether such a tool shouldn't be incorporated into PCEnv/COR
(as well as be a standalone tool). In fact, couldn't your tool become a
CellML API service (I am not sure about the right terminology here, but I
want to think you got what I mean)?
