[cdt-dev] expand vertical ruler hover icons in the CDT editor by default

Hello CDT folk,

At the CDT monthly call today [1] we discussed the Bug 476797 [2]
which is a great feature from JDT ported by William Riley of Renesas
to CDT. The feature is to expand the vertical ruler when there is more
than one marker on the given line. A screenshot of what it looks like
(in JDT) is available in the bug [3].

William did some of the work at the Hackathon at ECNA and has improved
and refined the solution since then. It is now in good shape and,
following discussions on the call today, we plan to turn it on by
default in the CDT editor in CDT 9.1 (aka Neon.1). William is also
planning to spend some time next month applying his improvements to
the JDT editor with the hope of changing the JDT default in the
future.

If you have any concerns on this plan, I would be grateful if you
raised them in the bug [2].

Thanks,
Jonah
