If they decide to do this, they get what they deserve, no?

Yes.

I guess that's the natural way, yes.  Of course, you can only use it
when the display is up to date, otherwise the glyph matrix cannot be
trusted, and you need the move_it_* functions instead.

Yes, modulo the usual caveats of hscroll etc.
