Replaced lisp implementation of window start and end with C primitive #44

walseb commented 5 years ago

Currently symbol-overlay-maybe-put-temp uses save-excursion to move the cursor around to get the window size. Emacs comes with a C primitive to do this which is a lot faster in the short tests I did quick-bench

I'm not sure when these were added so maybe the required emacs version will be wrong after this change

These functions are in Emacs 24.3, so we're good to go here - thanks!
