GtkTextView has a way to make colored text, and a way to draw stuff
like line numbers and breakpoints in a sidebar, but it doesn't know
how to parse C code in order to color the text, and it doesn't
actually draw the line numbers.
GtkTextView is a general-purpose widget you could use for lots of
different editing tasks, GtkSourceView specializes it for a code
editor.
