+1. `position-at-...' makes sense, and
`point-at...' does not.

Point is the _current_ cursor position in some
buffer.  And window point is the cursor position
for the buffer displayed in some window.

The names `point-min|max' are legacy.  No need
to change them to `position-min|max'.  But they
shouldn't be used as a precedent for starting
to name position variables and functions with
"point" instead of "position" (or "pos").

(Separate point (!), but related: we shouldn't
talk about the "position of point".  Point _is_
a position - the position of the cursor.

E.g., +1 for Eli's point (!) here, but not for
speaking of "point's position", which just means
the _position of the position_ of the cursor.)
