Hi,

this is absolutely great.

When I run your example invocations, nothing is displayed for a very
long time. I understand that this is because of the extra
'simplification pass', which means that whole results need to be ready
before anything is displayed. Adding something like '-10' doesn't seem
to have any effect, so I guess it is ignored. I hope that making '-<n>'
work would not be to complicated, but more important would be getting
incremental results. Will it be possible?
