Re: Fill column indicator functionality

[Ergus]

I tried a similar approach but I didn't finish it yet. The direct vector modification didn't work for me ... Probably because the indicator face is always reset after setting the indicator and I think the real screen update is made after the matrix generation. (If I understood right how the display engine works)

So with this approach the merge really creates a new face dynamically if needed.

Any way if that approach finally works for the general case I can fix also the other case. I will try it tomorrow because today I don't have time.

Thanks Alp specially for the Lisp code :-).

User customization could be accommodated by something like the below (naive) patch.  We define
fill-column-indicator face to have unspecified background; when displaying the indicator we merge the
indicator face into the current it->face_id (the same face used for the stretch glyph preceding the indicator).

What about the case there's no stretch, i.e. the indicator directly
follows the last character of the line?
