How do I efficiently get the current line at a given position?
Is line-number-at-pos() the best candidate?
This function in turn calls count-lines().
Why? --- I thought Emacs had an internal O(1) lookup table for the
positions of line beginnings of a buffer or file.
Thanks in advance,
Per Nordlöw

It doesn't. line-number-at-pos is what you are looking for.
