So it’s mostly useless in a 0-based character-counting editor, and
slightly less useless in a 1-based character-counting editor, and much
more useless in a cell-counting editor if you happen to use tabs. All
in all, there is much more agreement about line numbers than column
numbers, which makes it possible for each editor/IDE to choose, or
even let users choose.
