Field motion

[Johan Bockgård]

What's the rationale behind how the commands beginning-of-line,
end-of-line, move-beginning-of-line and move-end-of-line deal with
fields?


Evaluate the following

(progn
  (dotimes (n 3)
    (insert "nnn"
            (propertize "FFF" 'field 'foo)))
  (insert "nnn"))

to insert this text (where F's have a field property and n's do not):

nnnFFFnnnFFFnnnFFFnnn
          ^               Starting from this point,
                          the different commands, when repeated, stop:
^     ^  ^                beginning-of-line here,
^     ^                   move-beginning-of-line here,
            ^        ^    end-of-line here, and
                     ^    move-end-of-line here, respectively.
