I don't understand what the new virtual lines feature does. Can anyone explain?

The way I picture it is having true N number of lines on your working buffer that does not interfere with the actual line count in your file. We already have virtual-texts in neovim that only can show up on the same line as existing texts.

Pay close attention to the line counts in the image (from original PR) https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1363104/129208266-...
