[O] Capture failure [7.7]

Hi, Org mode people.

I had some misery trying to debug a special personal machinery to
capture URLs from Chrome into Org.  Not worth detailing here.  And
moreover, as it works now, I'm happy with this.

However, I had to make the following modification to get it going.  I'm
not sure what are the meaning of "beg" and "end" in this function, so
someone knowledgeable should check if (point) is appropriate as a value.

One sure thing is that "beg" and "end" should be initialized, as they
get later consulted in the function, and whenever :exact-position got a
value, that initialization does not occur.

François

P.S. This is using a copy of the Git repository as updated yesterday.
