Interesting feature. FWIW, I think this should be built-in, and
implemented in the display engine, not as a Lisp add-on.
It seems to work well, but has some problems with RTL text. To see
this, visit xdisp.c, turn on the mode, then go to around line 1900,
set bidi-paragraph-direction to 'right-to-left', and scroll up and
down several times: you will see broken bars, both with
indent-bars-prefer-character nil and non-nil.
