Maybe it was meant to save a few keystrokes when inserting constructs like 
while into C and Perl programs.  Maybe somebody was on crack :-)

I've just removed both edit_cursor_to_bol and edit_cursor_to_eol from that 
file.  Thank you for reporting the problem!

I'm affraid that all those cool features won't appear in MC unless you
implement it and do it very cleanly, documenting every change.  You are
probably wrong if you think that this list if full of talented programmers
