I must admit that my overview of that whole area is pretty limited.
I only remember that markers were always kind of a problem :-).
Would such a data structure be similar to recording deletions/insertions
of buffer text? Or, maybe in other words, what would entries contain,
and when would entries be inserted/removed/changed? (Somehow, this
reminds me a bit of a piece table, if you remember, but without holding
the text...)
Anyway, it's a lot of work, of course. So far, with the kind of buffers
I use I don't notice anything. I don't know if the figure of 500K
markers is real, but that sounds erm strange...
