RE: [External] : Re: Allowing point to be outside the window?

[Drew Adams]

A probably OT question that occurred to me.
Ignore if not relevant/helpful.

If we add the ability (as an option) to
let point be off-window, I'm guessing it
might entail the risk that someone uses
`C-w' and is not aware of perhaps killing
a chunk of text (perhaps a big chunk).

Should we maybe consider an (optional)
warning message or an optional confirmation
requirement?

A wild guess is that other editors, which
allow this off-window behavior, somehow
don't have such a risk of cutting lots of
text more or less silently.
