If you want to be generic, it would be better to use

    set columnfunctions=myfun1,myfun2,myfun3

. All functions should return a 2-tuple (hl group, text). This way you don't need to choose whether you want a error marker or a change marker from the plugin described earlier. This suggestion is mainly a replacement for signs, but it is just as good for numbers.
