Actually, we've (as in, Tarot did it, and I inherited it) copied and
pasted some GtkSourceView internals to do stuff like line numbers.
This is what I want to clean up and consolidate (we have some gedit_*
functions as well). This may result in making it very easy to swap out
for GtkSourceView at compile time.

We shall see.
