Yes, that is what I mean.  I understand this kind of hard remapping 
would not be conventional, and is not the best solution.  But, in this 
case, it is not Org, but visual-line-mode which is going a bit too far. 
Org takes care of the presence of visual-line-mode, but the opposite 
does not occur.  Anyway, since you are asking emacs-devel, perhaps ask 
too if it would be possible for a major mode to set, something like 
`beginning-of-line-function' etc, which visual-line-mode, or even the 
original functions it substitutes, could then honor, as is done with 
`fill-paragraph-function', for example.  Something of the sort might be 
the proper solution.  "Hard" rebinding is what Org can currently do on 
its side, as far as I can tell.

Best,
Gustavo.
