The following patch does what you want. After trying it out for a few minutes
it does feel easier to find out the current line number. I normally
have the line
number in my statusline, and on the occasion where the statusline is not shown
I've trained my fingers to hit Ctrl+G and scan the bottom line for the
line number.
Having the current line number, instead of a '0' shown at the current line seems
more useful. For better distinction the current line number ca be left-aligned
(for left-to-right text orientation) to make it look different than the
relative-line-numbers (I made no attempt at this in the patch below).
Others might find it weird.
patch follows:
