No patches, yet ;).

Actually i was thinking about integrating icon support in a similar way
to color changing at runtime. I.e. with an input as the following the
loading and displaying of an icon would be triggered:

    Some text ^Inameoficon^ more text etc.

The icon would be scaled to the current line height.

The actual icon location should be a runtime or compiletime option.

(As a side effect impementing coloring of parts of the line would also
become a trivial addition, with such a kind of parser. I guess we just
killed two birds with one stone ;) )

Zooming or displaying icons in other sizeѕ needs some thought thoug as
the corresponding lines/windows will require resizing and in the case of
multilple lines a bit of logic.

Yes, agreed. We'd better wait until the image format becomes more clear.
