And lines become overwhelming when the grid spacing is fine.

That's why my new HID gets adaptive: below 2 pixels, the grid isn't
displayed; below 5 pixels, it's a grid-of-dots (meaning, dots, except
it displays only dots with at least one coordinate a multiple of 10 -
where "coordinate" is the integer grid coordinate); below 15 pixels,
it's multiples of 5; below 25 pixels, it's a plain grid of dots; 25 and
above, it's a grid of lines.

I haven't used it extensively enough to have an opinion on how right
the breakpoints I've chosen (2, 5, 15, 25) are, but I feel reasonably
confident the idea is sound, and it's easy to tweak the details.
