You do know that GTK3 textview is doing exactly that?

See GTK3 gtk3-demo program, textview, "Multiple Views". No idea how
that works internally, sorry.

Ah, I was not aware of those. I don't use gtk in my project, so I didn't think to look there. I haven't found gtk's exact implementation, but that information led me to figure out how to create a Shape attribute and add it to the to the AttrList and hook in a "shape renderer" with a Pango::Rectangle.

I'll post a minimal solution here for posterity once I get the details ironed out.

Thanks!
