Yes. Various things were suggested in the bug report, like a new
facility to draw a vertical line through a character, for instance, to
allow indicating stuff like this without the (very slightly) disturbing
horizontal shift. I think that sounds like a good idea (and I could see
it being useful in general -- for instance, with a mode that indicates
the fill column, perhaps).
It doesn't sound very complicated to implement -- a new text/overlay
property, I guess?
