When I tried out `left' and various other settings for
indicate-buffer-boundaries, I found it messy and confusing, because it
more or less at random can either hide other marks in the fringe or be
hidden by them.

I would rather turn on indicate-empty-lines by default, which offers
the main functionality of indicate-buffer-boundaries, in a much more
reliable way and without any of the drawbacks.  (It never hides or is
hidden by other marks in the fringe).

Sincerely,

Luc.
