I think he meant to port the relevant parts of the code, not replace our 
support in whole.

There's a very good chance that kate for kde 4 will either have this, or 
something with the equivalent capability.  I'm interested in this so that we 
can have tight integration with kcachegrind.

For now it could just be put in an output view.
