        At the moment the best you can do is to find the bounding rectangle of
        the
        text you are going to draw, draw a filled rectangle in the text
        background
        and then draw the text in the text foreground. This works fine if you
        are
        drawing all your text explicitly with calls to draw-text - but it
        becomes
        tricky if your text output is produced by format onto a clim-stream
        within
        a filling-output for example.
    
    SURROUNDING-OUTPUT-WITH-BORDER already does the right thing.

But how can I use SURROUNDING-OUTPUT-WITH-BORDER to do the trick of drawing a 
filled (and opaque) background rectangle *behind* the surrounded stuff?
