Yes, what I mean is that in this case we would have to recreate the
structure instead of update it. I do not know how costly it is but
Abdel is confident that it is not a problem.

Why do we need that structure at all? Given that our char_type is
32-bits, and we don't use all 32, we could do something like the
following: the insets themselves could be stored in a hash table,
without storing their positions in that structure. At each position in
the paragraph where an inset appears, instead of just the META_INSET
character, we store an actual key into the hash table. (From the
comment on META_INSET I understand that we don't use any values above
0x20001 --- which means that we have more than enough room for keys to
as many insets as we'd like in a single paragraph...).
We have to make sure that these are not proper Unicode symbols.
Yeah, I don't know. I'm just basing this on the comment above. But I
can't imagine that there are anywhere near 32-bits worth of unicode
symbols...
Then, there's no need of keeping the insets structure in sync with the
paragraph itself after every insertion...
This is a very interesting suggestion Dov, I look forward to helping you
in the implementation ;-)
That would be great, Abdel! After 1.5.0 (or 1.5.1, depending on how much
RTL stuff is still left...)
