On the contrary, I'd assume most users will want to set it once and for all with a (setq display-line-numbers-major-tick 16) and then will be stumped why that setting doesn't seem to work (hint: it only applies to the *scratch* buffer). Maybe there will be a few special buffers/modes where they will set it to a different value, but these will likely be exceptions. Stefan
