I've tried exactly that (+/- lines up/down), and while it didn't cause
problems in the beginning, it violated some refcounting or so assumption
in more generic code causing a diagnostic panic -- unfortunately I can't
remember what it was exactly, just that a fix would need some serious
abstraction violation in generic code, so I dropped it.
So, well, sorry - best thing would be to try and run all kinds of tests,
but iirc the problem was not obvious and showed up much later.

best regards
Matthias
