Subject: Emacs26: Quick thoughts on display-line-numbers-mode

I took a quick look at display-line-numbers-mode (nice work as always) and
had a few thoughts:

1. The similar linum-mode when possible displays a subtle vertical
separator between the line numbers and the left margin of the text area.
This helps to visually parse the numbers as separate from the text and
helps identify where the first text character is.  It would be good to have
something similar at least as an option.

Then linum-mode should be removed (maybe add an alias) so there is no
confusion as to which mode should be used.

2. The mode-line popup menu that displays/hides line and col numbers in the
mode=line could be expanded to toggle this mode on and off locally and
globally, as well as providing options for its various display settings:
relative, visual and absolute.

Bob
