On a related issue, maybe line-move (and friends) could be simplified
if one could query the display engine about "glyph-after", "glyph-before",
"glyph-below" and "glyph-above" and let them return a buffer position
(and possibly also an X and Y pixel position).  Then the movements
would reflect what's actually on the display.

And it might even work better with proportional fonts as well.

Of course there are border cases when the target position is outside
the window, but in that case we could fall-back to the current code.
