Yes, in complicated cases winsaveview() can be used.
I think that in most cases the original problem applies: setpos() does
not set the curswant position. I think the best way to fix this is by
adding a separate set_curswant() function. Without argument it uses the
current cursor position, and otherwise it sets the position to a column
number.

simply due to the fact that Vim would highlight these words.
