That's a possibility.  But then somebody would have to take on the
dreary job of going through the >600 places where point-at-bol/eol is
used in the Emacs tree and decide whether to use `point-bol' or
`line-beginning-position'.

My guesstimate is that `point-bol' is the correct answer in more than
90% of the cases, so the upside to this plan is that Emacs would, in
general, end up faster afterwards.
