RE: Using WAI-ARIA for code folding?

Looks good.

"I suspect there's a simple way to display combinations of functions (toggling them individually), but my web-fu is a bit sketchy.  Help?"

You can set both of the allowToggle and allowMultiple properties to true within the setup file to enable independent toggle behavior for all accordion triggering elements.

"For extra credit, it would be great to be able to hide and show parts of functions (e.g, the body of the case construct).  Suggestions?."

You can easily nest accordions, you simply need to wrap the setup script into a function that can be called multiple times to configure different groups of accordions.

All the best,
Bryan

Ideally, the user would be able to review, edit, copy and paste, etc.
However, being able to efficiently review code would be a good start.

I can't find those suggestions; can you point me to a specific posting?

Thanks!  I hacked up the example and got it to display two alternating
functions:
