I found this function, but what I want is a function that turns pixel
coordinates into character coordinates, not into a buffer point value.  In
other words, I want a function that turns pixel coordinates into (window line,
column position on that line), as Epoch 3.2 reports.  If I must, I can get by
with coords-to-point (I think), but it means rewriting a fair bit of my
mouse-handling package.  Bummer.

As an aside, of what use are pixel coordinates anyway, other than that the
function coords-to-point requires pixel coordinates?  I suppose that it's
easier for Epoch 4.0 to report pixel coordinates instead of character
coordinates, but is there anything that can be done with pixel coordinates
other than turning them into a (point buffer window screen) tuple?
