| Sorry, but 'breadcrumbs' as a description of various types
| of web-navigation features has been in use quite a bit

I'm sure the Hansel and Gretel story from which this was based in the
first place could get a foot in the door as well. It's not a big stretch
to go from forest to web navigation d;)
