Okay. That's enough confirmation for me. I will probably use this
feature too, for example to put 'editor = "nano -J75 +1"' in .gitconfig
to help avoid making commit messages too wide.

Of course. Like the commit message said: the color needs to become
configurable, meaning that it needs to have its own color name.

Hmm. A ruler in my eyes is mostly used horizontally. That's why I
used the word "column" to convey the verticalness of the line -- the
word "line" itself is too much tied to a horizontal line of text.
So now I'm thinking of: --marginstripe, --limitstripe, --brinkstripe.
