GtkTextView is a generic text editing widget. a feature like this would
be suited for text editors, mostly aimed at developers. I'd recommend
you to add this new feature to the GtkSourceView widget first and make
it available to every project using the libgtksourceview library. if it
proves worth adding to GtkTextView, it can then be backported.
