(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

Skimming this bug thread, it seems like there's room for improvement in
how Emacs displays these things, but it seems unlikely that there'll be
further progress here, so I'm closing this bug report.  The approach of
marking certain text for the display to pick up seems possible, but the
main use cases seem to be gone now (if I read correctly, which I may not
have).

If further work should be done here, I think opening a new bug report
and restating the aims would be the way forward.
