Bug Description
It would be nice to have syntax checking run in the background, and, much like the "autocheck spelling" works, have it underline errors, instead of having to run a manual check.

This is certainly doable. The syntax completer signals the checker to run if it suspects a problem. Errors are not something that is always underlineable.
I have been contemplating using the gtksourceview left gutter to for difference kinds of bookmarks: user added, search results, syntax errors. This allows me to have have a indication of error or style, and a tooltip to state what the issue is.
