Hey, that's nice. I changed the face to

(defface selective-display
  '((default :inverse-video t)
    (((supports :underline "red")) :underline "red"))
  "Face used for fold markers like ...")

to make it really eye-catching. Anyway, a one pixel, dashed line would
look a bit better.

But maybe emacs could add some bitmap between the lines in the fringes
(info "(elisp)Fringes")? Most editors add a plus sign to the border, if
the code is collapsed.

Bye,
Tassilo
