Reading the code, if display-fill-column-indicator-character is set,
then the mode will never do its computation to see whether we can use
the prettier U+2502 │ character.  We could special-case that, though,
and if it's ?|, then we replace it with ?│ (that is, ascii bar with
Unicode bar).

That would be kinda hacky, though, wouldn't it?  Then there would no way
to use the ASCII bar, for those that hate all things Unicode.

So we'd need another variable, unfortunately.
