FWIW, a notion of text-area modulo prefix would imply a non-rectangular
text-area, which I think would be a much bigger problem than what we
have now.
In this respect, the line-numbers are different (they could be
treated as a kind of margin).

Indeed. Especially to handle the case where the same chunk of text is
displayed in several different frames (with different fonts, or with
a mix of GUI and tty frames).
One thing I'd like to see is a way to perform "right-alignment"
for things like tabulated-list-mode.
