Hm, I haven't read the patch, but maybe define a new gui=column (or
something) for highlighting, which would add a one- or two-pixel
highlighting at the left edge of the current character cell in guisp
highlighting? So the colour of the guidecolumn could be set by something
like
hi GuideColumn term=reverse ctermbg=yellow gui=column guisp=red
?
Best regards,
Tony.
