And, btw, I don't think I agree with your assertion that we should use
the display routines for current-column and friends.  The
column-oriented functions count actual (not canonical) columns,
whereas display code counts pixels.  It makes little sense to me to
call the display code, which will load fonts, call jit-lock, and
whatnot, just to count columns like current-column expects.
