So maybe Dmitry has some valuable insight as to how exactly company
constructs its overlay or overlays.

You can try putting a multiline string on the 'display property.

Instead of just "BAR".

I tried that, but I don't know how to align it like company does.

Have you tried 'before-string as well?

Apart from that, I can only suggest reading the code and
experimenting.

I admit I was hoping that you as company maintainer/specialist :-) could
provide a small snippet to create a dummy but company-realistic overlay
of, say, two completion "foo" and "bar" in the middle of any buffer.  Or
perhaps explain in layman's terms how company constructs its overlays.

I think it would be faster for you to just read the code.

I'm not sure you need a realistic-looking overlay, though.
