A reasonable facility to have, though of course you need overrides in
both directions.

Well...usually.  It's possible the jump isn't actually a jump
instruction (just data that happens to look like one) and it's possible
it doesn't actually jump to where it appears to for any of many
possible reasons.  Hence the overrides.

My disassembler defaults to disassembling as instructions, but it has
support for the user telling it that certain areas are text, or
integers, or whatever.  Clone it and look at the README if you want to
get an idea how it works from a user's point of view.
