Not sure what would be the ideal behavior for compact-docstrings (no line-number? Truncated line-number? smaller line-number?), but for those "text lines turned into thin graphical lines" as in describe-symbol, *vc-log*, and friends, I think the better behavior would be to not display a line number at all. Rather than try and guess it based on the presence of a display/overlay, maybe we could require a specific text-property like `no-line-number`? Stefan BTW: in nlinum-mode (and presumably linum-mode as well), the line-numbers are clipped, so I guess this is a difference between text-in-the-margin and text-in-the-"main"-area.
