3/ Providing contextual information on what document the user is
currently working on, eventually allowing some tweaks on a per-document
basis.
gedit's use case of GtkSideBar is 2/ and 3/: it uses the statusbar to
display some properties of the current document (like language,
indentation style, etc.) and invented GtkStatusArea for pushing
important messages.
In that regard, it would probably be nice to add some API in
GtkStatusBar to cover the third use case mentionned here.
