I think it would be a nice feature. I'd prefer that over the current indicators at the fringe. And moreover, in some situations where there isn't fringes (eg. on TTY sessions) this would be the only option to visually show the boundary of the text. So, I suggest you to report a feature request about this (M-x report-emacs-bug). -- Dani Moncayo
