This is what I've come up with; it feels somewhat close but not quite there
yet. I can create, remove, and the overlays, which is great. What I miss
is the awesomeness of the way that overlays work with org links. I love how
the link target and the enclosing [[ ][ ]] are invisible until I delete
one of the "[" elements. However, with my code, the whole macro expression
{{{macroname}}} ius invisible until I delete the whole thing, at which
point the overlay helpfully disappears. Is htere a way to get something
like the link behaviour?
