I'd like some more help from the editors in getting 2d layout right without trying. Here's a mockup of vim with vertical grey bars delimiting layout:

Does anyone know how to get this effect in vim (or emacs)?
Bonus points if the grey bars are draggable, changing the indenting. More bonus points for box-based navigation.
Having played with haskell parsers for various reasons, the layout rule is quite tricky due to the rules involving 'parse-error'. if we could come up with a formulation that didn't have those. it would make things a whole lot nicer. something like an unexpected 'in', 'of', ')' '}' ']' might do it. the lexer would have to keep track of matching brackets.. hmmm..
