Norman Gray spake, through the medium of http://www.tex.ac.uk/upload,
thus:

> Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
> Version 1.5 implements a \TPMargin command, which causes a margin to 
> appear round the blocks of text within textblock environments.  This makes it 
> easy to use blocks of colour which are larger than the block of text by a 
> decent margin, or to put a border round textblocks by setting a suitably-
> sized margin and using the showboxes package option.
> 
> This is a long-overdue implementation of a feature-request.
