Column numbering

Um... this may be yet another silly question.
I've noticed that codelite starts column numbering at '0'. Other tools I use, Programmers notepad, Winmerge, Visual Studio start at '1'. Is there any way to get codelite to display column numbers as counting numbers '1, 2, 3,...'?

An other option in the same domain:
that tabulation count as 1 for column instead of the number of space it would takes.

I am pretty much sure that the column numbering is taken from scintilla API function and not something that I calculate manually
I need to check that

actually we discussed this a long time ago and since then I apply the attached patch to my custom CL builds.
The patch affects any ASCII art (like comments) so If some users prefer the current indexing I suggest adding a CL env variable defaulting to the current behavior, so users that prefer 1-based indexing can enable it without disturbing others.
Which indexing is "correct" is debatable; different editors pick one or the other... and to be
a propos we don't have a January zero, for example
