Hi Andreas,

I think that this could be quite useful.

That depends on your requirements. :-)  To be more specific: How and
where should the decorators be applied?  Just out of my head, I can
think of three possible places:

(1) They could be integrated in the left margin, similar how decorators
in text editors are used.
(2) We could introduce a dedicated column for decorators
(3) As an addition or replacement of the indented icons of the first
column (without looking at the code, I think this where doIndenting() is
drawing).

I am not partial to any of these, but we should make sure that we
understand the problem.  What is the use case that you have in mind?

Best,

- Michael
