I've checked in code that should implement the notion of a wall,
although I decided to call it a "fence" instead; there's a new call
"col_set_fence()", which takes a "column_info *" (typically
"pinfo->cinfo"), and a column tag (such as COL_INFO), as arguments, and
sets the fence for that column to the end of the current text in the
column.

I have not tested it with the fence set anywhere other than the
beginning of the line.

Give it a try when you have time, and let me know if you find any bugs.
