Re: Allowing point to be outside the window?

The display code is already rife with a hundred state variables, all of
which invite laborious combinations of if-clauses to accommodate
(something EZ is rather expert at), all of them sources of FUD and
puzzlement.

cursor_visible_p is yet another state indicator that multiplies the
state space by 2.  I can't oppose it (I can't seem to oppose anything)
if it will revive emacs's fortunes, but the state profileration really
galls.
