Describe the feature
Hi,
Is there a way to show column number beside the line number in the %l:%c format? It shows only line number, but I'd like to also see column number beside it.
Provide background
I am currently using https://github.com/yorickpeterse/nvim-pqf, which shows both line and column number in the output. Example:
nvim/lua/init.lua 7:1 require('path.to.file')
I'd like to achieve same thing here, but I didn't see an option to do that.
What is the significance of this feature?
nice to have

There is not currently an option for displaying the column with the lnum. I don't find it useful myself, but I would review a PR that adds it as an option.

Yeah, I don't feel strongly that this is necessary either, especially since quicker.nvim already improves the display by trimming/aligning whitespace better than the default quickfix window.
The main reason I can see for it is parity with the default quickfix behavior, where the column is visible as part of the location.
