emacs -Q
 
It is not documented, but move-to-beginning-of-line returns the
position (since it ends by calling goto-char, which returns point),
whereas move-to-end-of-line does not.
 
Call it an enhancement request, if you like, but I think it would be
handy for both to return the position, just like goto-char does. And
it is good for both functions to return the same kind of thing.
