Sniping is not welcome here. The previous comment has been disemvoweled.

I always sort of intended to do this, if no one else did it first.

I hate to be the only negative comment on this, but your output doesn’t really help explain things much more beyond giving a bit more of a logic flow of things – for the average MySQL programmer who is not an expert, it still doesn’t show why a query might be broken (in terms of performance) or how to speed it up. We still have to go back to all the definitions on the MySQL EXPLAIN syntax to vaguely understand the terminology and derive the hints needed to speed up the query. I am looking for something that my team can use to quickly idenitfy the issues without having to remember the esoteric aspects of explain everytime.

Thanks again for your efforts.
