This will be nice.  It reminds me of an old but fervent wish which
I once posted to this group and which many others seemed to share.

At the considerable risk of feature-itis...

I have always wished to annotate my code with illustrative
diagrams.  It continues to surprise me that no programming
environment, even on the Mac, allows this.

No doubt this poses some incredibly hairy implementation & user-
interface questions, or it would have been done by now.  Right?

Thanks for your attention.
