Hi,

I think `vcursor.el` has a bug that causes `point` (the real cursor) to
move to where the virtual cursor is whenever `vcursor-copy-{word,line}`
are used. 

We need to wrap the `goto-char` call below in something like
`save-excursion`:

Thanks, but I think save-excursion should be deeper, immediately befor
we call goto-char.  It is not good practice to change buffers inside
save-excursion.

Sounds good to me, please move the `save-excursion` call nearer to
`goto-char` if/when you have the time. Thank you for the explanation :)
