ee78f2348b rcfile: rename bindable function 'curpos' to 'location'
It is better that the bindable function is named the same as the
tag in the help lines, and that it is not an ugly abbreviation.

1a2d0c1770 scrolling: add a function and a key binding to center the cursor line
By default, this function is bound to ^L, to make that keystroke do
something actually useful.  To not lose the Refresh function that this
keystroke had, the centering function additionally does a full redraw
and refresh of the screen.

d4ee6a2b53 options: rename --tempfile to --saveonexit, to be far clearer
A long option should describe what it does, not vaguely hint at it.

Also, in several places of nano's code we deal with actual temp files,
and then having a flag called TEMP_FILE that doesn't have anything to
do with temp files is somewhat confusing.

5755ecdbfc options: let --afterends affect also the deleting of words (Ctrl+Delete)
It makes more sense that <Ctrl+Delete> deletes the same thing as what
<Shift+Ctrl+Right> would select.

66e64dd2d2 docs: in the sample nanorc file, refer instead of duplicating

the syntax files that will actually get used.

2d4bacf61d docs: stop mentioning that --wordchars overrides --wordbounds
Since the previous commit, it no longer does.  Instead, the two
interfere, and the user probably wants to use just one of them.
