Part of the comint-mime shenanigan is because I wanted certain text
properties in the vtable area.  How to best achieve this could be a
discussion to be had.

The other reason for the shenanigan is that I insert a vtable in a
buffer with font lock and so I need font lock to not override the vtable
faces.  This is just a bug to be fixed.  Do you address that in your
patch?

Thanks for working on vtable ;-).
