About that also: it's vital to show that that text is somehow "specially"
inside there; it behaves so differently from the rest.

I can imagine the user trouble: "I accidentally hit some key and now
there's text there that I can't remove. What's going ON?".

That might be a good enough reason, actually, to make these keys optional
and non-default, until the user interface is polished... Such that they
are on when -Dgzz.containment=1 is used.
