It's not designed for use with graphical browsers. Here are three contexts that could use it: * A menu tree being presented through a window or viewport (this is how it's being used now). * A symbolic debugger that can browse text around a current line. * A database browser for a sequential record-based file format. -- <a href="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr">Eric S. Raymond</a> Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule--and both commonly succeed, and are right...
