Left margin in gVim

Hello all,

there was an old thread about left margin in VIM.
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/vim_dev/muxfGRp86zE/VokJ7LJqIIIJ

So the proposal was supposed to help with setting up a left margin in VIM
and here are two related discussions on Stackoverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2531904/how-do-i-increase-the-spacing-of-the-line-number-margin-in-vim
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7893390/how-to-change-the-left-margin-in-gvim

In original thread Christian Brabandt made a patch for it and I am
not sure whether the feature was supposed to be added or not in
future releases. I have read Vim 8 new features documents but
seems that there is nothing about it? (I still use version 7.4)
Probably there is something added that adresses this or planned?

In two words, the issue description:
If I show line numbers, the text in main window is very close
to the numbers, namely only 1 char gap. The idea was to add
a possibility to increase the gap in some way, and it was
(still is?) impossible to do.


Regards
Mikhail
