I see the rationale behind what you're saying and I do agree. But there is a
gotcha. It's related to the way the fold line is filled with chars (as in
'fillchars'). Say I find it too invasive so I set the fold fillchar to space
and its background to the normal background, in order to turn it "invisible".
Now I have a colorcolumn splitted here and there and that *really* looks odd.
Maybe the solution is not to force filling the fold line all the way to the
right margin but to make it the length of the string foldtext() returned.
