Nice idea. Would setting a font to a smaller one on empty lines do the
trick?
It could be even made into a simple minor mode (perhaps a global one?).
Might be very useful for fitting more code on the screen, especially in
languages whose culture prefers lots of whitespace.
I'd gladly volunteer to write such a mode, if there is any interest.
Best,
