-## Better out-of-the-box display for FORM FEED
-
-By default, FORM FEED is displayed as a dumb `^L` glyph.  This is
-surprising considering it shows up in so many places: Emacs source
-files, help buffers (e.g. `describe-mode`)…  You can even see it in
-source files of other GNU projects, like GCC.
-
-"Pages" are important enough to have their own navigation and
-narrowing commands, yet their default delimiter is displayed as an
-unassuming control character.
-
-I like the way form feeds are displayed with [`page-break-lines`];
-magit's `show-lines` blaming style achieves a similar look.
-
-Having this kind of display by default would make it more obvious that
-this character serves an actual purpose; as it stands, it looks no
-different from some stray CARRIAGE RETURN.
-
-This could be re-used by e.g.:
-
-- `describe-symbol`, which uses the following method to visually break
-  up multiple symbol definitions:
-
-  ``` lisp
-  (insert "\n\n"
-          (eval-when-compile
-            (propertize "\n" 'face '(:height 0.1 :inverse-video t)))
-          "\n")
-  ```
-
-- Custom buffers, where sections are delimited visually with a
-  999-character wide underlined space.
-
-Full disclosure
-:   This reflection started because moving over this underlined space
-    with `truncate-lines` on causes the screen to jump horizontally.
-    This specific problem should be fixable without dragging FORM FEED
-    display into the discussion, but I feel like the latter is the
-    more interesting issue ([who on Earth] enables `truncate-lines` by
-    default anyway).
