I've seen documents in which changes are marked by a thick black vertical
line in the margins.  I think it's a really neat thing but there is no
way to automate it in Lout, although if you want to do it manually you
could use the @MarginNote symbol, or whatever it's called, combined
with a vertical line which you can get from, say, the @Diag package
(or perhaps by scaling the | character).
