What I meant really is just specific face properties to avoid the need to recalculate widths, but now that I check, we already allow to "line-number-current-line-face" to be a different face entirely. > I'm trying to avoid such feature creep in this case, be that as > un-emacsy as it might seem. I'm quite happy about display-line-numbers. I'm using it more than before now that it has little difference in performance, so I concur. I also consider color-banding very helpful for readability though. That's the reason most tape measures and rulers have alternate ticks or colors.
