If this does what i think it does, very cool! I have a number of  
scripts that check sources when they are saved, and in the OK case  
I'd rather not have a window pop up telling me that! Now I can fly a  
quick tool tip instead!

As for the names, I personally like the verbose names. They are self  
explanatory/self documenting, which is a good thing.
