Description
Would be useful to have ProGuard support to allow loading a mapping.txt. This can be done with -applymapping mapping.txt.
In theory, a tool like Diaphora could be used to create a mapping.txt by comparing an older unobfuscated jar with a new release protected by ProGuard.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the requested mapping.txt loading behavior and the ProGuard -applymapping reference, then read related issue #22 for existing context. Done means Bytecode Viewer supports using a ProGuard mapping to deobfuscate loaded output; the issue does not name source files or tests.
