I’m happy we’ve got to something usable at last!

New patch attached, it’s basically the same as the last one but
cleaned up and with a proper commit message. It’s not as fast as Emacs
26 and 27, but shouldn’t have any of the visual glitching we’ve seen
in that codebase and is hopefully Fast Enough. I don’t think anyone’s
likely to complain, but I’ll leave it a few days before I push to
master.

Thanks everyone for your help.
