Subject: An observation on the Emacs display engine

Taking a look at the following Screenshot, we have an info document with
a table. The entries in the first column are autowrapped.
[-- Attachment #2: Screenshot2.png --]
[-- Type: image/png, Size: 13514 bytes --]

If we now look at the table entry `\chordmode { c:dim f:maj7 }', the
first line of the rendered table contains the image. As a result, the
second wrapped line of the table label is awkwardly displaced
downwards.
Actually I now wanted to conclude that Emacs' display engine is not able
to deal with this situation better. But I forgot about image slices.
One _could_ try to slice the image into pieces accommodating the line
height of the rest of the table.
So this particular case might theoretically be handled. I am not sure
whether it is feasible to calculate the image slice height for that.
And if, instead of an image, we had a giant letter "B", then slicing
would not be available.
I doubt that this kind of use case crops up all too often. But I just
wanted to mention it when seeing that info page.
All the best,
