If I understand correctly, this request essentially asks for any higher- or equal-priority sign that currently would overwrite all properties (though specifically `text`/`texthl` vs `numhl` of a lower-priority sign, to instead "patch" its highlights onto the previous ones.

The idea would be to have a `text`+`texthl`-only sign work together with a `numhl` sign. This [request](https://github.com/airblade/vim-gitgutter/issues/863) [is](https://github.com/dense-analysis/ale/issues/23#issuecomment-251499828) [popular](https://github.com/yegappan/lsp/issues/385). I think it could be sensible.
