Re: recent `float' current_column changes

[Richard Stallman]

    Why not just allow lisp programs to see it too?  I'll bet that if they
    just do the normal sort of arithmetic and call indent-to-column on the
    result they would basically work the same way as they do with an int --
    unless indent-to-column accepts a float, in which case, they'd work
    _better_...

That is the idea -- the Lisp functions should return floats,
when necessary.
