The problem is that AFAIK, syntax highlighting only applies from the
start of the line to the last character on the line (plus the EOL in
NonText highlighting if 'list' is on and 'listchars' includes "eol:").
If you have a line consisting only of a ^L character, then you can, of
course, set a distinctive highlight in column 1, but not, IIUC, to the
part of the "screen line" which is beyond the end of the "file line".

On the other hand, if I hit you over the head with a brick, that is
also a psychological interaction.

The difference is that one is friendly and the other is not so
friendly.

The crucial point is if you can tell which is which.
