It's a bit of a cats&dog situation, tho. The conflicts with other
packages are a strong deterrent to the use of the margin.

Which is why I suggested we go with a purely Elisp library layed on
top of the current display features. That lets us play freely with
various design options. Contrary to the redisplay code, such a library
will have to do its job at the time the margin-display-properties are
added to the buffer, rather than at the time they're rendered on screen.
