I wouldn't hold my breath, because this will mean any display routine
that calculates layout will have to call some non-trivial Lisp,
possibly even running a subprocess. Not a very good design, IMO.
Why don't you show these indicators on the fringes or in the display
margins? That's what those features are there for, and native line
numbers keep their claws off the margins for that very reason.
