I asked this question last July.

Gerd replied that Emacs needed a place to put the cursor, and thus
needed the next line anyway.

I replied:

:           If one were to place the cursor at the end of line on
: such a line, it could go in the right fringe until a character is
: actually entered. 
:
: Perhaps this is difficult to code, I don't know.  But it is a
: solution.

to which Gerd said:

: It's pretty difficult, indeed.  Nothing for 21.1, I'm afraid.
