Once we do that we should try to accommodate as much as possible in the
concept we provide and I think that having ‘follow-mode’ implemented by
the display engine would be quite valuable.  So I would vote for a more
general solution that encompasses it as well.

I think it boils down to the same underlying concept: Have the display
engine replace one text with another profiting from the restriction that
on terminals all characters are created equal.
