Currently VS Code displays line numbers on every line (just like almost every other editor) but it would reduce visual clutter if only every 10th line was displayed and the rest would be empty or use some other non-distracting small character.

Delphi used similar technique to display only every 10th line + current line (sorry for bad quality image, that's as good as I could find):

• VSCode Version: 1.17.2
• OS Version: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open VS Code
2. See that all lines have numbers

Reproduces without extensions: Yes
