I have only looked at the source for the arrows (implemented my own
bent arrows in MetaPost at one time, to get sharp points :)... But
here is the package, anyway:

I've used the brace code. One nice thing is that you can place the
middle "notch" (or whatever) wherever you want along the path.

Hm. Perhaps the arrow code could be useful too? After all, if we
typeset text with TeX, having arrows that look consistent with the
arrows in Computer Modern may not be a bad thing. (Perhaps a really
parametrizable arrow class -- so the CM style could just be a special
case?)
