Description
As seen in several editors, usually called "virtual space" (Visual Studio), "virtual edit" (Vim) "cursor beyond end of line" (Mcedit), etc.
Does what it says on the tin: allows the cursor to go beyond the end of the line, padding with spaces if the user actually types something.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the editor moves the cursor past a line end and how typing inserts text. Compare the requested virtual space behavior with the existing cursor and line-editing paths; done means the cursor can move beyond the end of a line and typing pads with spaces before inserting text.
