A GdkWChar buffer is going to blow your memory usage well past my
widget which uses UTF8... GUChar also, though not as badly since I
think GUChar is 16 bit...

Something to keep in mind since I think your primary goal with the
gapped buffer was to reduce memory usage over the tree. So you might
want to think about using UTF8, which complicates your life a bit.
