I'm no expert on the code, either, but I think the current C code lacks the proper abstractions and interfaces to allow such a thing. > Any ideas for better ways to do this? I like your idea (and it is related to other ideas such as having multiple regions in a file with different filetype settings, or editing just a fragment of a file in a separate window), but I'm afraid all you can do is attempt a half-assed Vimscript implementation with many limitations.
