   The text editor I use is not smart enough to locate and understand function definitions yet, so I waste a bunch of time going up and down between the definition and where I'm calling the routines.

   Until today I had no way to scroll to a definition without moving the cursor. Which meant that each time I jumped to a definition, I had to jump back.

   Each day I'd run this through my head "Would I spend more time implementing a scroll-to for markers, than the amount of time I save..?"

     Improved Left further, by adding different displays for both buffers and methods. This is getting pretty comfy.

     I've allocated myself about 100 bytes of implementation space for this whole set of features, and I still have a few bytes left to do things with.

     🤔

     Yesterday, I was going on about how I wanted this round-about way of having quick access to definitions without scrolling, sort of like an IDE.

     Talking about it gave me the motivation to stop procrastinating on this and just implement the darn thing. Left is now able to locate symbol definitions and its methods and members, and draw them inline.
