Indicator for long lines

There is no indicator in the editor that a particular
line of text continues outside the visible area.
well you have the scrollbars of course but that does
not indicate WHAT lines are long.
I suggest marking the line with some arrows, a block or
something - simmilar to this:

Visible area:                                       END
---------------------------------------------------
if(something=something>5?5:somethingelse(true,false,
                                                      
                 1,2,3,4,5)


Visible area:                                       END
---------------------------------------------------
if(something=something>5?5:someth>>
                                                      
    >>

On the last one you clearly can see that there is more
outside the visible area. Espeically for the other line
that is padded with spaces.

Sorry my drawings become messed up. But I hope it's still understandable. (I hate non-monospace fonts)
