Would it make sense if the "skyline horizontal padding" was only applied
in inward direction and/or limited/clipped by the outward padding?  In
that case, one could use comparatively larger values for stopping
interleaving while not causing outward problems.

It would also make it possible to "close" something like the \downbow
symbol with liberal internal padding without causing outward problems.
