I think it is not that trivial since Epsilon does not normally know current line, but it has to calculate it when you say C-X-L, and it takes time. Current column display is easier but not so useful. No flames towards Epsilon, it is the best editor for PCs I know and I have written several extensions for it in its extension language.
