BTW, it would be a quite worthwhile project for somebody with a bit
of spare time at their hands to write such a browser that:

- is fast
- knows about types and how to follow function pointers
(e.g. that can trace foo->send() to the right set of "send"s)
- allows navigation in views (e.g. "show all callers of xyzzy",
then walk over the list of callers to pick the right one)
- has some concept of additional attributes, e.g. "may sleep",
"grabs a lock", etc.
- can look inside macros

The navigation should be a bit like with mutt, when you go by arrival
(o u) to check recent stuff, then jump to threads (o t), and finally
end up checking if the author of a particular message has said more
interesting things in the past (o f).
