Huh? Contrary to skip-chars-forward, forward-line returns the number of
lines remaining, not the "decrease in the number of lines remaining".
I.e. (zerop (forward-line 1)) is often used to check that forward-line has
indeed moved.
I agree with Martin that it would be better to not return 0 when it has moved
but hasn't managed to move to a different line.
