See special characters in IDE

I'd love to see a setting for seeing all special characters right in the IDE (Similar to what Notepad++ does)
Sometimes a NL or CR sneaks in and can be a bugger to find, being able to just see all special chars would solve that.

One of the ways to get that comparatively easily is set your system font to one that has glyphs for all the special chars.

It should be comparatively simple to run up a font using a font editor such as Font Forge
with visible symbols in these spaces.

I know of ways *around* the problem, such as special fonts or copying into Notepad++, I'm just looking for a simple built-in solution you can toggle on/off to check for things.
