If you think you can make it work (also on the statusbar),
go ahead.

Don't know.  I don't know yet if I want nano to have this
"placeholder" behavior.  It's kind of nice that whenever
you type a character (whether one or two columns wide),
the /whole/ affected line shifts right, all the softwrapped
chunks.  But it's kind of weird, and different from what
people might know from other editors.

Let's focus on that.

Later.  One step at a time.
