There are plenty of domains in our codebase beyond the icon with
potential for improvement, to which your time and energy would be far
better devoted.  One example is the absence of stipple support on
MS-Windows, which is, as I understand it, is currently preventing a
popular indentation highlighting package from functioning on that
platform (to which code for drawing dot and dash underlines would be a
natural accompaniment).  To use the magic word, yes, VS Code implements
"indent guides", for which it is the more important that we implement it
with dispatch, if we are to attract users from our mortal competitor, as
it is portrayed whenever it is invoked to justify a list of mostly
frivolous priorities.

Would you be willing to volunteer for this task?
