Not sure exactly what your asking, but keep in mind that column-numbering
and line-numbering have a fundamental difference:  when the cursor is on
the top-left position in the buffer, point is *on* the first line but
*before* the first character.  Think of point as a line that has zero
width, but the height of a line of text.
