It will be usefull to have line numbers in a ViewSource window to have more
comfort while you develop. For example, when you've been alerted about an error
in line X column Y, you will not have to copy entire source into some IDE to
seek this line.
By the way, as far as source is printed with monospaced font, it should be easy
to draw lightweight vertical lines dividing a source into columns of, say, 10
symbols. I mean, do it like it's done in M$ Word -- horizontal and vertical
rules makes your text more eyes-browsable. And of course this feature may be
optional.

Please do a Bugzilla query before filing a bug. The original bug wasn't very
hard to be found.

Sorry for duplicate... But I still have an enhancement -- we should divide a
source into columns of some number of symbols to quickly find not only a line
with an error, but also a column number.
