User data in GtkText?

[Thomas Mailund Jensen <mailund daimi aau dk>]

A little while ago (Jul 20) I uploaded a patch to the text widget that
made it possible to associate arbitrary user data to the text
properties.  So I am wondering whether this patch will be applied, or
perhaps some other implementation of the same functionality is beeing
considered?

Some of the things I'm working on really needs this feature, so if the
patch wont be applied, I will have to move my implementation from the
text widget to my application.  But since this will cause a lot of
duplicated work, and since user data in the text widget is generally
useful, I really feel that gtktext is the place to put it.

I'm not sure my implementation of this facility is the way to do it,
but the idear I think is sound.
