 +======Synopsis:======
 +$__curpos__()
 +
 +======Technical:======
 +   * Arguments, if any, are ignored.
 +   * This function returns the "index" of the cursor's position in the "current" input line ($L).
 +   * As with all "index" values, counting starts from zero.
 +   * Counting begins after the input prompt, if any.
 +   * The "current" input line is the last screen to receive a key-press. If you use this function outside of a key binding, this may be an important consideration.  Use within a key-binding should be safe.
 +
 +======Practical:======
 +This function is used, in conjunction with $[[indextoword]]() to retrieve the
 +word "under" the cursor.  This is most useful with tab completion.
 +
 +======History:======
 +This function first appeared in ircII-2.2.2.
