Of course there are multiple possible straight lines and how it looks
depends on the order I use the existing heads to fish them out. (That
is, when the straight lines join, I need to bend one of them.) Assuming
I take the one where X is on, I expect a look like
-----A-------X-----
\ |
+- Y--------
| |
-----B----+--+
Branch heads that are reachable from other head are picked after those
that aren't reachable.
The point is to get the feature branches being displayed on separate
lanes (and thus visibly sticking out) and not being intermingled with
the longer-living branches.

:-) Problem is, in this case 'I' expands to about
1<<7 people I need to educate on this.
