The NSLayoutManager is for this case way too complicated. The problem
is not drawing the line/symbol numbers, but the interaction with the
controller. In my own app, I have solved it by using delegate methods,
but sofar was trying to make BCSequenceView stand alone. But probably
it wont hurt if I make it part of a MVC pattern. It is up to the user
to call the correct methods to make it work with a controller. Just
like we have to do when we eg implement an NSTable.
