I think I like that.  But I'm not sure how to adapt this to my case
where I "prettify" the indicators into the fringe.

Maybe a related idea would be to use the diff-refine-added/removed face
on the line-end: the reduced contrast is not a problem there since
there's no text.  But it's not always visible (for long enough lines).

I suspect we'll have to provide various alternatives and see which
ones stick.
