I think Eli was right to ask for more details here.  For instance,
Emacs does store the current position of point to the global mark ring
in some circumstances.  So you can jump back to the position of point
before you issued the command that moved it by hitting `C-u C-SPC' --
depending on the command.  That doesn't work for C-n, C-p etc. (I
hardly see how that would be useful), but it does work for M-<,
M-C-a, C-s ...
