To set 'guidecolumn' you can do :set guidecolumn=N where N is the column. If N is 0 then guidecolumn is turned off. It is highly unlikely that a user would want the guidecolumn at column 0 but the syntax seems odd so let me know if you think there can be a better way to do this.
The patch still needs to be tested thorougly and tweaked but I wanted to get a general idea, if you guys think it has chances of getting accepted.
