Arduino: Show column number in status bar
At the moment the status reports the following information
- line number when there is no selection
- range of line numbers in the form _n-m_ when several lines are selected
It would be nice to change this to a more standard line : character in order to simplify matching locations with the output from the compiler's error reporting. This would just replace the default output, and the range display could still be kept as is.

my bad... it seems line number is all that is actually _required_ to match errors locations. might still be useful for a lint situation to display line : character. I am thinking about including the google c++ lint to help newbies with improving code ( @cmaglie / @facchinm you may consider transferring into a python script the contents of the Arduino code guideline that the IDE could execute and show warning about - don't shoot the messenger, this is just a thought )

It seems that all requests to add 'column' beside the line # in the Arduino IDE point back to this, #4403 and they've all been closed and with no explanation other than 'duplicate'.
Sure, I could use an external editor (and sometime do), but the simplicity of having the compile/upload, the serial monitor and serial plotter all under one roof are pretty compelling. Furthermore, there's a LOT more tutorials on adding libraries and other boards for the native IDE than for other platforms.
With that said, I (and many others) would really like to see the column displayed beside the line # at the bottom of the IDE. Otherwise, please at least explain why it's not going to be there, especially considering that the IDE continues to get updated.
Why, even the Arduino Pro IDE doesn't even have a column shown, so I am at quite a loss here.
