This is mostly factored out from tabulated-list.el (with bugs fixed).
* doc/lispref/modes.texi (Header Lines): Document it.
* lisp/display-line-numbers.el (header-line-indent): New variable.
(header-line-indent--line-number-width)
(header-line-indent--watch-line-number-width)
(header-line-indent--window-scroll-function): New helper functions.
(header-line-indent-mode): New minor mode.
* lisp/display-line-numbers.el (header-line-indent-width): New
variable.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/tabulated-list.el (tabulated-list-line-number-width)
(tabulated-list-watch-line-number-width)
(tabulated-list-window-scroll-function): Make into obsolete aliases.
(tabulated-list-mode): Use 'header-line-indent-mode'.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/tabulated-list.el (tabulated-list-init-header):
Adjust the header line format and computation.
* src/buffer.c (syms_of_buffer): Mention header-line-indent-mode.
This variable, local in every buffer, specifies how to display the
header line, for windows displaying the buffer. The format of the value
is the same as for @code{mode-line-format} (@pxref{Mode Line Data}).
-It is normally @code{nil}, so that ordinary buffers have no header line.
+It is normally @code{nil}, so that ordinary buffers have no header
+line.
+
+@findex header-line-indent-mode
+If @code{display-line-numbers-mode} is used, and you want the header
+line to be indented by the same amount as the buffer contents, you can
+use the @code{header-line-indent-mode} minor mode. This minor mode
+keeps the @code{header-line-indent} variable updated, so that you can
+say something like:
+
+@lisp
+(setq header-line-format
+ `("" header-line-format ,my-header-line))
+@end lisp
+
+This can be useful if you're displaying columnar data, and the header
+line should align with that data in the buffer.

* Lisp Changes in Emacs 29.1
++++
+** New minor mode 'header-line-indent-mode'.
+This is meant to be used in modes that have a header line that should
+be kept aligned with the buffer contents when the user switches
+'display-line-numbers-mode' on or off.
+
+++
** New predicate 'char-uppercase-p'.
This returns non-nil if its argument its an uppercase character.
