"=" cound be used instead of the current "dashed", too.

What about either "[" or "]" for the thick bar line?

"|]" or "|[" compared to "|I" "I|" or "|!" "!|".

I knew we'd come to this point, but besides:

Are there any objections/meanings about

(1) moving most of the code from bar-line.cc and span-bar.cc into the 
scheme layer

and

(2) is the "single glyph approach" feasible? Changing "." to "I" or 
whatever char
is not a big problem, once the routines are settled.
