I don't understand from this discussion why would you want to move the
cursor to be before or after the hint. I also don't understand why,
if you do need to move the cursor, adding or removing the 'cursor'
property to the overlay string would not solve that.
More generally, what is the requested functionality here and/or the
problem you are trying to solve? Can you explain that clearly in
terms of user-facing features and behaviors?
