It seems to do it, thanks. If I find any further problems, I'll send 
them to the bug tracker.

Naturally, but a code reorganization can both improve performance and 
reduce the complexity, or at least keep it on the same level.

I'm repeating myself, but in ruby-mode I can have a 1Mbyte long heredoc 
(or a percent literal, which is like a C++ raw string, but with more 
features), and edit either of its bounds with much better latency.

Anyway, this subject seems exhausted. Thanks for the discussion.
