`C-x =' shows information about the current position, including its relation to the buffer size, its column, the region limits, and horizontal scroll amount. That position info is missing from the *Help* display for `C-u C-x ='. It is only shown in the message, which is ephemeral and can easily be overwritten. The attached patch remedies this by including the position information in *Help*. The patch also updates the doc string accordingly (and corrects improper grammar such as "Is POS is taken...").
