E.g. don't we have the same kind of problem if we use a command like:

   (defun my-wacky-movement ()
     (interactive)
     (dotimes (_ 5)
       (move-point-visually 1)))
or
   (defun my-wacky-movement ()
     (interactive)
     (and (re-search-forward " " nil t)
          (move-point-visually 1)))

If not, why not?

Then is there a way to check whether point is consistent with the cursor
glyph position (and use this check instead of the
NILP(Vexecuting_kbd_macro) check)?
