I like the feature and hope it becomes part of 7.3, but being able to highlight more than one column gives even more reason to call it 'guidecolumn' rather than 'margincolumn'. I could see wanting a highlighted column at some distance to the left of 'textwidth'. Could the notation be changed so that -n means "&tw-n", +n means "&tw+n" and 0 (maybe -0 or +0) means "&tw"?
