Re: fringe buffer-boundary bitmaps

[Richard M. Stallman]

    A related issue is the name of the bitmaps -- currently the names
    reflect the physical appearance of the default bitmaps, but I think it
    would be better if the names reflected their logical use.

If there is a fixed correspondence between uses and names, which
appears to be the case, then I agree with you.  Also, the doc string
of define-fringe-bitmap ought to list these standard names, because
there is no other doc string to find them in.

However, I think it would be cleaner to keep the names as they are,
referring to the bitmap appearance, and add a layer where you specify
which bitmap to use for each standard purpose.  So if you want to use
a little "EOB" for the end of the buffer, you'd put that in a bitmap
named little-eob, then specify to use little-eob for end of buffer.

indicate-buffer-boundaries would be the place to specify this.
