This was ten years ago.  These days, `display-line-numbers-mode' does
pretty much everything linum-mode does, but better, so I think there's
probably no reason to implement this feature request, and I'm closing
this bug report.  (I've just skimmed the thread, though, so if there is
something here that should definitely be fixed, please respond to the
debbugs address and we'll reopen.)
