Yes, that's why I wrote "when forward-char is used
interactively, the resulting buffer position is changed more
than one character".  If C-f results in movement of more
than one position, normal users think it's done by C-f.  I
just thought it may be good to have a pointer to a place
describing a position adjustment done by the command loop
(if any).
