That function works only with positions shown in some window, so why
do you say the above makes no sense?  The implementation emulates
display, so it must have a window to make layout decisions.

The snippet cited in the original message _was_ from
Fpos_visible_in_window_p.  But I don't understand what kind of fix did
you have in mind, perhaps because I don't understand how the original
problem reported by Juri happened in the first place.
