Hmm... good point.  My intuitive understanding of the "visual line"
feature is to distinguish the "newlines" from the "line wraps", so when
we `truncate-lines' I'd expect the visual-line movements to be the same
as the physical line movements (tho I'd allow a distinction in the case
of line-wraps introduced via `display' of before/after-strings).
