    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).
