 - Add 'balloonpopup': instead of showing text, let the callback open a popup
   window and return the window ID.   The popup will then be closed when the
   mouse moves, except when it moves inside the popup.
-- For notifications use the PopupNotification highlight group, fall back to
-  WarningMsg if it isn't defined.
 - For the "moved" property also include mouse movement?
 - Make redrawing more efficient and avoid flicker:
     - put popup menu also put in popup_mask?
