Although I cannot see the picture (I'm currently logged in at home via
ssh. Another point for emacs!), I do know what you mean. Or take KDE's
diff tool kompare. Instead of inserting empty lines in file A's display
if parts of file B have to be inserted there, it renders nice Bézier
curves directly on the canvas to indicate where the parts of B have to
be inserted.
And as you said, folded/collapsed/outlined text would be much better
indicated with a vertical pixel line than with the three dots emacs
appends to the text before. That's simply not eye-catching enough.
Bye,
