Argument map

Native argument maps for philosophy, critical thinking, debate, and legal reasoning. Declare a central `claim`, then `support` and `object` arguments either attacking the claim or rebutting other arguments. PRO arguments render green, CON arguments red, with arrows pointing FROM each argument TO whatever it supports or attacks. Rebuttals nest naturally.
