Klaus,
This is the sort of thing `semantic-decorate-mode' is for. If you
take the `semantic-tag-boundary' in semantic-decorate-mode.el as a
baseline (about 44 lines), all you need to change (other than names)
is that the overlay be given a fringe/image to display instead of
underlining the text.
Activating the +/- to keyboard input is a different story.
I gave it a quick test and learned I don't know as much about fringe
images. I'll provide my hack to anyone who wants to tweak it to
support fringe images properly.
Eric
