Severity: wishlist

When you use xref-query-replace-in-results to replace some references,
it'd be great if the xref buffer showed an overlay arrow (see
xref--set-arrow) pointing to the reference being edited.  That'd give
better context about the reference that is being edited and the global
progress of the query replace operation.

SGTM.

Here's a patch which seems to work. It's a little tricky, though, and I'm at a loss with better variable names in some places.

Wish we had some unit tests here.
