Kind of, but it's used for gud-break.

The same thing that the usual suspects from rect.el do.

Indeed, but that's been the case pretty much every since Emacs-21 added
support for variable-sized characters. Or even before that in the case
of line-wrapping. The new code only highlights the "rectangle", but
doesn't attempt to change the definition of that rectangle.

Yes, I just wanted to provide "visual access" to the existing
rectangle functionality, since it's been requested many times.

Indeed.
