[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Exactly. It turns out my code breaks when there are nested headings so an Elisp
solution would have to be more complicated. Currently, if the extension property
is on a non-newline character, it does nothing. So a first approach would be
face_at_buffer_position look back one character if the current character does
not have the extend property.

But I’m thinking that we should be able to fontify the ellipsis without extend
and the heading with the extend property should override the background of the
other faces on the same line (even the ellipsis).
