I bet there is a bunch of scripts using 4-variable lets. Simple grep over
the mess in $HOME/.vam (I hold all but my plugins there) found at least
LaTeX_box plugin (ftplugin/latex-box/common.vim) and python-mode-klen
(autoload/pymode/lint.vim, though it should have used line() and not
getpos()). I do not know how many plugins do
let pos=getpos('.')
...
let [a,b,c,d]=pos
, use negative indices or something else. Why not use optional argumet to
getpos() then? Note: optional argument should make it return a dictionary.
5 indistinguishable numbers are way too much.
Also check out winsaveview(), particularly .curswant key. Maybe there is no
need to modify getpos().
