Note that if you have the source-code annotated thing enabled (which
seems to be the default) the arrows go straight through the source.

Also, in this case the asm is dark blue, which is nearly invisible on my
black background.

Does look nice, thanks!

An alternative to all this arrow drawing could be to high-light the
jump-target, maybe not a full bar like the cursor line but something
like that.

Also, is there a key to jump to the jump target? I was instinctively
pressing '%' to do that, but that could be my vim brain-damage :-)

I'd start with that and go from there.

Since its a dynamic arrow (in a nearly invisible colour) it doesn't
really matter. But what happens when a function is large enough that
function offset doesn't fit in 2 hex digits anymore? Aah I see, that
width is dynamic, OK.
