Example for "go back" option in breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs, that were introduced with Netbeans 7.3, are a very nice feature.
However there is one addition I would like to see to allow even better navigation. 

They should support 1 level of history to go back to the last cursor position if the cursor is moved by clicking into a breadcrumb.

See the attachements: step1 is a breadcrumb for the current position (inside an "if"-statement, which itself is in the "windowOpened" method of a "WindowAdapter", etc.)

If the user now clicks on the "MainFrame" constructor item in the breadcrumb line, the cursor is moved to the beginning of the constructor of "MainFrame" and the breadcrumb line is shortened to that position (only displays the class "MainFrame" and its constructor "MainFrame").

I would like let the other items ("WindowAdapter", "windowOpened", "if (maximizedBothSupported)") still visible, but greyed out in some way. This allows an easy way to jump back to the last position. 

For an example, see attachement step2. That shows the breadcrumb line after clicking on the "MainFrame" constructor, but still shows the last breadcrumb where we came from. So it is easy to click on the "if"-statement again to jump back to that position.

It is only a simple addition, since the same can be done with the "go back" function. Yet, I think that such a visual help and a way to go back by clicking on the breadcrumb line (where the mouse is still hovering, because we clicked on it before) would be a nice feature.
