(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately didn't get any
response at the time.)

I'm not quite sure what's being referred to here.  Emacs has a fringe
area, and there a "margin" concept in the indentation functions, but is
there also a "margin" concept in windows?

Hm...  I see there's a `window-margins' function.  How does one give
margins to a window, I wonder?
