But I'd like to extend that feature request even more: IntelliJ uses such thin *horizontal* lines to separate methods in Java source. And that is IMHO a real killer feature as it helps to spot the building blocks immediately. I'd love to see such lines vim/gvim/macvim.
If someone could point me into the right direction I'd be willing to implement it myself. Though I have never looked into the source of Vim so far.
