Hi people,

There's been some recent talk regarding ERC's lack of a visual element
to demarcate the boundary between seen and unseen messages in a target
buffer. This approach leverages the existing `keep-place' module located
in erc-goodies. (But perhaps there's a smarter way?) Improvements or
replacements welcome, as always.

Thanks,
J.P.

Subject: [PATCH] Add option to show visual erc-keep-place indicator

* etc/ERC-NEWS: Create new section for version 5.6 and mention
keep-place indicator.
* lisp/erc/erc-goodies.el (erc-keep-place-indicator,
erc-keep-place-indicator-follow): New options for anchoring kept place
visually.
(erc-keep-place-indicator-line, erc-keep-place-indicator-arrow): New
faces.
(erc--keep-place-overlay): New internal local state var.
(erc--keep-place-on-window-configuration-change): New function to
subscribe to `window-configuration-change-hook' and maybe update
keep-place indicator.
(erc--keep-place-setup-overlay): New function to initialize buffer for
option `erc-keep-place-indicator'.
(erc-keep-place-enable, erc-keep-place-disable): Add setup and
teardown to support `erc-keep-place-indicator'.
(erc-keep-place-move, erc-keep-place-goto): Add new commands for
manually updating and jumping to keep-place indicator.
(erc-keep-place): Move `erc--keep-place-overlay' when applicable.
