I have not done anything with text properties or overlays before, so I
have to take it look at the docs, but I guess this would only affect
small parts of the implementation (do something with properties/overlays
instead of inserting/deleting text).

Thats what I thought too, but I ran into a problem I could not solve so

demand) is kind of the second-best solution (better then nothing).
Here is a thread related to the problem mentioned, unfortunately with no
posts except my own so far:
