Ok, so I've finished a first implementation for the interface and
adjusted the interfaces themselves a bit more too. It works quite fine
now I think and it seems to be quite fast. 

Cross-Posting to kwrite-devel to get comments on the implementation.

If anybody spots breakages of code style just let me know the place and
I'll see that I fix it. Unfortunately the code I touched had a couple of
different styles so I tried to pick one thats used widely.

Any comments welcome, there's one problem which I don't have time today
(maybe not before the weekend) to tackle: The highlighting-border is not
properly drawn on word-wrapped lines.
