I agree that it would be good to make this the default, if it works as
well as you say.  The visual editing mode, probably based on David
Reitter's code in some modified form, can go on top of it (like
longlines mode, I think it is useful for editing certain types of text,
though not all.)  We need to make it work properly with point-motion
hooks, though.  Would you like to do that?
