That's not correct. It is easy to put the cursor on that tiny line!
The code uses a relaxed check so that if the mouse is within ONE
COLUMN on either side of the line, the cursor changes to the <-> drag
cursor. So there is already a virtual block area there which is TWO
COLUMS wide there.

Personally, I see no reason to make that explicitly stand out more
than it already does...
