Description
For binaries based at address 0x0, Binary Ninja generates lots of annotations whenever the constant zero is used which is rather annoying since they are never helpful. In the screenshot below, obviously the Mach-O header is not actually being referenced, but Binary Ninja insists on generating an annotation referencing it every time the value 0x0 appears.
Binary Ninja 3.6.4689-dev, 7e4a998c

Research direction
Reproduce the annotation behavior described for binaries based at 0x0 using the reported Binary Ninja 3.6.4689-dev version, then locate the annotation-generation path and any existing configuration for address annotations. The work is done when users can disable annotations for address 0x0 without suppressing useful annotations for other addresses.
