Unfortunately, this is not possible to do because of a bug
in overlay handling.  Here is a short test case:

(progn
  (insert "ab")
  (let ((o (make-overlay 1 2)))
    (overlay-put o 'after-string "!"))
  (let ((o (make-overlay 2 3)))
    (overlay-put o 'invisible t)))

The problem is that "!" from 'after-string' is not displayed,
even when it's on the text that is not invisible.
