I really like linum's ability to do "fancy" things with the line
number. But I understand why I'm in a very small minority and the
effort and performance impact aren't worth implementing it.

As for the option to display it every Nth line, that would be helpful,
yes. I find much more clear to have the number every five lines or so
than having a wall of three- or four-digit numbers (for large files).
Alternatively, the ability to use different faces for the Nth lines
and for the non-Nth ones (so I can use a very dim face for the non-Nth
ones).

Thanks for considering this.
