Thats what I mean. Write primitives in C for use with lisp e.g
(buffer-position-at COL ROW). And others which would allow the POSITION:

     (WINDOW POS-OR-AREA (X . Y) TIMESTAMP
      OBJECT TEXT-POS (COL . ROW)
      IMAGE (DX . DY) (WIDTH . HEIGHT))

to be generated just from COL ROW provided by mev, if thats possible
(mev only provides character co-ordinates, not pixel information).

Thats's implicit isn't it? Otherwise presumably it would go in FOR-RELEASE.
