Re: Line & column numbers....
Line and column numbering are inconsistent. When the cursor is in an
empty buffer, the line number is 1 and the column number is 0.
I'm used to zero-based arrays, so I expect both to be 0. (If they were
both 1, I wouldn't complain much.)
M-x describe-variable
column-number-start-at-one
===============================================================================
`column-number-start-at-one' is a built-in boolean variable.
Value: nil
Documentation:
*Non-nil means column display number starts at 1.
===============================================================================
Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to affect line numbering.
