The backward search is just a fallback in case the forward one finds no asm
line, which I believe is unlikely. Maybe it's also impossible, but I don't
really know how those lines are generated, so I put a fallback in place.
Furthermore, "closest" would imply that a previous asm line could be chosen over
a subsequent one if closer, even if the latter is present.
