rubyFeedback created an issue (geany/geany#4346)

Geany has the "Long line marker". This is a visual cue; I use it for primarily 
knowing
when the 80 chars per limit I go over. (I sometimes go over it, in particular 
via 
comments, but also code, so I more use a flexible range between 80 to 100 on my
wide monitor, but by and large whenever possible I try to stay at exactly 80, so
this long line marker is very helpful and useful to me.)

With my bad eyesight though, I'd like that vertical bar to be a specific width 
that
is a bit above the current one. It seems 1px right now, yes? Can we adjust this
to 2 or 3px? This could be a small-ish additional entry, defaulting to 1px,
and perhaps a spin-button allowing values down to 1px, and up to 5px. Not sure
if anyone were to need more than that; should probably just fix it at some value
for now, say, 3px or 5 px max, and if people really want more, they can do a
new issue request.

What would be the rationale for allowing this?

Well - my hope is that with a width of, say, 2px or 3px, it becomes visually 
even
stronger to notice for me. Right now it is a fairly thin line; I can see it, 
but I'd
love to have it a bit more wide. In CSS I typically use a border, such as:
    border: 3px solid darkblue;
    # and then also; border-radius: 12px; or something like that, but this makes
    # no sense for the feature in geany, so I just suggest something like
    # border: 3px solid darkblue. Actually it may be nice to use dotted too,
    # but I don't want to complicate this request, so just width in px. The
    # colour we can already customize via that colour-picker, I set it to 
    # darkblue on my light theme.

Thanks for reading.
