The existing function `line-number-at-pos` returns the line number 
relative to current narrowing. I need a function that returns the 
absolute line number (as I need to save the line number in a 
separate file so that I can later open at the appropriate 
line). Do you think the function name is misleading? What about 
one of these?

- line-number-at-pos-absolute
- current-absolute-line
