> @Keita and Vangelis: Any comments on Paul's proposal?

Hmm, sorry. Contrary to what I said before, the current master puts the
preview images in the base buffer for both document preview (C-c C-p
C-d) and region preview (C-c C-p C-r etc.). Maybe I was doing something
wrong. :-(

It seems to me that Paul's approach makes sense. I'd like to hear
Vangelis'es opinion.

Best regards,
Ikumi Keita
