Hiding would be too much for me. But the ability to change the
:foreground property for a multiple of N should be equivalent.

But as a side note: is this really that impactful to add a regular hook?
Surely this would (?) be run only for visible lines, of which you don't
have many. If you restrict to certain face properties such as face
colors, you can ensure there's no change in width. But it's just
speculation on my part, I didn't look at how redisplay is handled.
