Subject: bug#20369: Possible inclusion of fci-mode
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2015 23:52:07 +0600

In general, I think it's pretty easy to take already working `fci-mode':

https://github.com/alpaker/Fill-Column-Indicator/blob/master/fill-column-indicator.el

make it work smoothly with the rest of Emacs (this means fix that bug
and bug when some lines are shifted in ERC and after
`report-emacs-bug'). Maybe some cosmetic changes… It's too bad that it's
impossible to display overlay when actual line is empty (no idea if it
could be fixed, but it causes some little problems in `ace-window' mode
too, for example). I think it wouldn't hurt if this mode were enabled by
default in Emacs 25. All major editors, for example Atom, have this
fill-column indicator… pretty nice.

In principle I could dig into it, although I only have desire, but no
free time. Probably you can do it much better, if you have time for it.

Regards,
