With this patch, when the 'signcolumn' option is set to 'number', the signs are displayed only when the 'number' column is displayed. Otherwise, the placed signs are not displayed. Instead of this, if the 'number' column is not displayed, should we show the sign column and display the signs there? If the 'number' column is enabled later, then remove the sign column and display the signs in the number column? Similarly, if the 'number' column is disabled, enable the sign column and show the signs there? Also, in the 'number' column, when displaying the sign for a line, the corresponding line number will not be shown for that line.
