** Emacs now optionally displays a fill column indicator.
-The fill column indicator is a usefull functionality specially in
-prog-mode to indicate the position of a specific column. This is

+This is similar to what 'fill-column-indicator' package provides, but
+much faster and compatible with show-trailing-whitespace.
Customize the buffer-local variables 'display-fill-column-indicator'
and 'display-fill-column-indicator-character' to activate the
indicator.
-Alternatively you can use the modes
-'display-fill-column-indicator-mode' or the global
-'global-display-fill-column-indicator-mode' which enables it locally
-and globally respectively and also chooses the character to use if no
-one is set.

The indicators is not displayed at all in minibuffer windows and
in tooltips, as it is not useful there.
