Is there any way to tell what window line I'm currently on? Even if I use move-to-window-line and it's successful I may not actually be on that line when it returns. But realistically, I need to know what line I'm on without moving and I don't see how I can tell. I can't seem to fine a way to tell what window column I'm in either. It seems I could probably use (window-width), (current-column) and truncate-lines to figure it out but comments about popup-ruler on the wiki make me think such a formula wouldn't be accurate.
