Print margin is a common feature in nearly all code editors. Basically what it does is to show a vertical line indicating "end of line". For example 80, 90, 100, 120, 140 characters.

I would like to see the same feature in Chocolat app to help me write code style compliant code. In Python PEP 8 dictates a maximum line length of 79 characters. I'm sure there are a lot of other code styles for other languages or within companies that require programmers to adhere to a maximum line length.

Also:

* print margin should be configurable in the Chocolat settings
* the color of the print margin has to be part of the color scheme
