<nitpick>
+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.)
</nitpick>
