Sounds like an excellent idea!

I would suggest using something like "\<C-r>=IMAP_YAHF(0)\<CR>" instead
of "\<Esc>:call IMAP_YAHF(0)\<CR>" because the former doesn't screw up
the cursor positioning and moreover we remain in insert mode...
(IMAP_YAHF(0) could just return '' always, but internally mark the
cursor position in s:lastPosition. IMAP_YAHF(1) could return
"\<C-o>".s:lastPosition)  As the abve string stands, by the time we
return from IMAP_YAHF(0), we are in escape mode and the bar is typed in
normal mode... I am sure this was just a prototype and you would have
used this anyway, but just putting my word in :)

No objections. I think this will solve those placement problems in a
mathematically correct manner :)
