Hi Waqar,

Well this is kind of a personal thing, and not everyone may agree with
your choice of characters.  So how about allowing the user to select the
characters that they like ?  For example if you added a new command line
option:

   --visualize-jump-chars="/,+>'"

which could then be used to provide the characters displayed at various
points on the graph.  Obviously this would be a more complicated patch,
and would require adding some more documentation, but overall I think that
it would be worthwhile...

Cheers
   Nick
