    The code I use highlights the column number indicator, if only column-number
    mode is on. It highlights the whole pair (line, col), if both line-number
    mode and column-number mode are on. It does not highlight the line number,
    if only line-number mode is on.

It might be clearer to highlight only the column number, because that would
say "the problem is the column".
