[Viewport] [Wireframes] Vertex and Edge thickness auto-scale based on distance from view for better readability/to prevent wireframes cluttering the models

[Viewport] [Wireframes] Vertex and Edge thickness auto-scale based on distance from view for better readability/to prevent wireframes cluttering the models

 

Vertex and Edge display on objects would be far more readable and easier to the eye if the size /thickness of vertices and edges would respond to the distance from the view. Otherwise when you zoom out they form a visual clutter almost like a fill effect on your object covering it all. With wireframes its even worse. 

 

The now discontinued Modo has possibly the best implementation of this:

I think at one point there was an idea to implement this in Blender:

Something like this is definitely needed especially as we move to higher res monitors. Would be great to at least be able to increase the draw size/thickness of edges like we can with verts.
