They both go to the smallest buffer position of the line (modulo the
fields issue).  If an LTR line starts with RTL characters, that buffer
position will not be the leftmost one, but that's all.  (I don't think
we have a function to go to the position that is the leftmost on
display, probably because that was never needed.)
