Well, the newline _is_ on the last line, but the cursor is AFTER that
newline, so the buffer ends AFTER the newline, but BEFORE the cursor!!
So placing the "end-of-buffer" marker after the cursor is both
misleading and confusing, as it falsely indicates to the user that
there is an extra empty line at the bottom of the file.
I think my latest change DTRT in both cases!
BTW, if cursor is at the end of buffer after the final newline,
C-x = reports this:
point=909 of 908 (100%) column 0
When cursor is at the end of the last line without a newline, C-x =
reports:
point=3386 of 3385 (100%) column 70
Both of these clearly indicates that the cursor is AFTER the end of
buffer, which reminds me of the following change to C-x = when the
cursor is at the end of the buffer. It changes the output from the
two examples above to:
point=909 of 908 (EOB) column 0
point=3386 of 3385 (EOB) column 70
