Considering that simply turning on column-number-mode causes
a mode-line/menu-bar/tool-bar update after every command, this
is at least an order of magnitude less wasteful than doing that.

I have c-n-m turned on all the time, and I don't actually see
any performance degredation _at all_.

Sorry, but I don't see any other way, that to do this in 
set_point_both.  What do you suggest I do?
