Also, "a line forward" is usually considered a bigger change than "a
character forward". In "usual" writing systems at least.
If you are looking for a specific position you first locate the correct
line and then the character in this line.
In analogy to writing down numbers (higher-value components come first),
lines should be first.
Unless Emacs goes the step to some totally writing-system-agnostic
editor where writing from top to bottom (or the other way around) is
just as easy as from left to right.
