My idea was to just create a copy of styling buffer, so each change of
styling buffer will be done for extended styling buffer. So everything
remains the same, but I will have two buffers for styling.

This allows a style buffer with 0, 1, 2 or 4 bytes for each byte of text.
I contacted Neil about changes to the way that styling is saved a couple of
years back (I actually wanted a plain text buffer with 0 bytes of styling)
and he referred me to the SinkWorld project. However, this looks to be some
way away.
At the moment, the styling and text buffers are one and the same thing, so
extending the styling size is awkward. Separating the text buffer from the
styling buffer is possible, but involves a lot of code changes... this is
the first step to allowing additional styling space. Once they are separate,
then setting different sizes becomes possible. Of course, there is then the
challenge of keeping the API backwards compatible.
