I added breadcrumbs to `info+.el' in 2008. I added it to vanilla Emacs in Emacs 23. In Info+ you can have breadcrumbs near the top of the buffer (as in vanilla Emacs) or on the mode-line (or both). The former is via option `Info-breadcrumbs-in-header-flag'. The latter is via minor mode `Info-breadcrumbs-in-mode-line-mode'. In both cases, you can click any segment of the breadcrumbs to go directly to that node. Breadcrumbs give you a structural orientation. And `L' gives you a chronological orientation, with direct access to any part of that history (just as breadcrumbs give you direct access to any part of the structure above you.)
