Observe thicket of arrows.

Noel said in bug 168696 comment 16:
"I agree that we need a better strategy for drawing arrows when the numbers get
high, probably merging destinations into a bounding box and having one arrow
per destination bounding box would be good.

Doing that might be suitable as a G-Soc or similar project, it is mostly
contained to one or two files in writer, and does not touch large amounts of
our internal API."

This is not really a case of hierarchy, but perhaps "bundling" of the lines for
a cleaner result would be interesting to explore as seen in
