Disclaimer: I have absolutely no idea how this process works.

This patch makes ido.el slightly more configurable.

In particular, when using ido-decorations that make ido-mode display
vertically (per http://emacswiki.org/emacs/InteractivelyDoThings#toc20), a
pair of decorations are being used in two different places with two
different meanings, even though by happenstance they look the same. This
patch splits them out into two different pairs of decorations (which
currently have the same value), allowing the user to customize them with
greater precision.

So, now that I've said everything that can probably be said on the topic,
how do I go about submitting this patch for review to the official emacs
repo? Does this email count? Or maybe someone in here knows how to do it in
like 3 seconds flat and wouldn't mind?
