However, insets imply all sorts of things about cursor movement and

We will face challenge for sure but Cursor movement is already working
well for entering and leaving insets. We will have to decide what to do
That's true for the current insets, absolutely *not* for char styles.
It's not acceptable for it to need two keypresses to get from a to b in
'ab' just because a has a different char style.
Well. And I want two _explicit_ cursor positions there, independent of
the implementation...
I would in general _not_ want explicit cursor positions. I see the
character styles as some kind of attribute that's applied to the text
along another dimension.
Andre', could you give an example of a case where you'd like the cursor to
stop in between character styles?
Maybe we really need two modes regarding how to move the cursor using the
keyboard etc?
