Description
Certain attributes, like LineNumberTable, ExceptionTable, StackMapTable, contain information related to positions within the bytecodes of a Code attribute.  Rather that simply dumping these as raw information at the end of a method listing, it would help to have options to intersperse this information within the instruction stream.

Comments
EVALUATION Yes. New hidden (for now) option -XDdetails, like javac -Xlint, provides details like source code (requires source file on -classpath), try blocks, local variables, stack maps.
