I think ideally Emacs would be able to size the margin dynamically, 
based on the longest margin string in the visible mart of the buffer 
(maybe use a new value, `auto', for it).

And also display several margin strings together. Maybe use an overlay 
property, which can indicate the preferred sorting order. And another 
property to indicate origins, so that strings from one package are 
always displayed in a neat column.
