Description
Currently the matlab code section bolds the code in an active "%% code section". Rather than bolding the code, it would be nice to color the background of the active lines in the fringe. If the fringe doesn't exist, we would default to bolding the code in the active section.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the code that bolds MATLAB lines in the active "%% code section" and inspect how fringe indicators are handled in this Emacs mode. Done means active lines use a colored fringe background when available, while the existing bold styling remains the fallback when no fringe exists.
