Hi Eli and anyone else interested!

I have pushed an update to my branch scratch/tzz/prettify-text-mode:

* rebase against master
* rename prettify-text everywhere to "text-coverup"
* squashed all the code down to 3 commits

I can move the code to a new file, but otherwise I think I've addressed
all the immediate concerns, and after merging this I will work on your
wider concerns about compositions and overlays. Can you advise if you
have any concerns?

Thank you for your help and time!
