i.e. show a 1

Needless to say, I have not a clue how to implement it.
Not 100% the same but there is column-marker-mode available
(search the
emacswiki). It will highlight a given column iff the line
is at least
that long.
FWIW, column-marker.el is pretty cool but it pales by comparison to
the approach used in Eclipse. The Eclipse
solution is barely noticeable whereas the Emacs highlighting
solution is very much in your face.
