Edge Width setting for Selected Edges

It's sometimes really hard to see edge selections in Blender. I propose that seledted edges could be drawn wider . This would be possible by having theme setting for Selected Edge Width .

Examples: same edges are selected in the left image as in the middle, but selected edges on the left are hard to see.

This image has 3 edges selected; it's quite hard to see which 3: 3 edges .png

When Edge Width set 3px, it's much easier to see which 3 edges are selected.

Visibility could be improved by having an Edge Width theme setting for the selected edges. When an edge is selected, its width will be wider.

This would greatly improve the visibility of selected edges. The effect would be even clearer than in the examples, as the non-selected edges would not be "bold". So there would be both color and weight contrast between selected and non selected edges.

Using a 2px - 3px edge width with all edges is not an option, as the wireframe will get too overwhelming and obstructive when modelling.

Selected vertices could have the same kind of size setting, but I don't personally find that as important.
