I haven't seen CodeRush. It may be possible, and CodeRush might be
performing some valid operations to do it, but from what I have experienced,
the extensibility model doesn't look to me like it would allow arbitrary
access to the visual surface where the code is displayed (at least in the
standard code editor). Now, if they are doing it, and it's not supported
(maybe they are getting window handles, or something of that nature, not
really working through an interface supplied by the extensibility model),
then that's not an option I would really recommend.

Is that definite? CodeRush puts icons all over the place, and it seems
to have plenty of information about the source code.
Admittedly I wouldn't want such a feature myself, but I suspect it's
*possible* - even if it's very difficult.
