Would it be a good idea for Emacs? It might be a good idea for another reason: it could help us solve the problem of "where do we put the cursor when it's at the end of a line that's exactly the width of the window" (right now, we put it on the next line, which means that we end up with an empty line for no other reason than to put the cursor there every other blue moon).
