As far as I know, to make it work generally you have to patch the
redisplay engine.  It's probably only a couple of lines of C code, but
I can't really promise that.  It's also unobvious what the API to
control the feature should be.

If you have a monospace font, the LISP code could temporarily stuff
whitespace into the end of the highlighted lines.
