* Line-width

In GEdit, there's an option to show a thin vertical line at 80 chars (modifiable number). I find it of great help to avoid writing long lines, which I tend to not do otherwise or often (inconveniently) look at the column number to see where I am.
Such a vertical line might be a good idea for DrRacket.

This has come up before. I doubt anyone would complain if someone implemented this and made it optional. Some people (including me) would very much like it. I think that the least-controversial default preference settings would be 80 characters, light gray, and disabled.
