First, thanks for the suggestion; sorry, it simply hadn't occurred to
me that after/before-string can do things display specifications
cannot.

Obviously I'm still thinking of a display-propertized display
specification string as the more natural thing to do, and things are
slightly different (cursor placement, modifications, highlighting of
included text) with the after-string solution, but I'll try to get
things working that way. Thanks again.
