displayPosition parameter

The displayPosition parameter may be used to query or set the cursor's display column position on the current element.  The display column position includes any spaces that have been added due to tab expansion and any characters that have been used to display the element's sequence number.  If there are no expanded tab characters and no sequence numbers, the displayPosition parameter behaves the same as the position parameter.
