IIUC, it's not "half of a line"; it's whatever space is left. Having
*almost* a line could be useful, having a two-pixel strip would't be
useful, and in most cases in between what it would be is distracting,
not useful (to me, anyway).

Yes, there's people who do not want pixel resizing turned on unconditionally.
