The effect would be that the cursor would try to keep its current column
in case of vertical movement.

Any opinions on this matter?
Yes, that's how it should be >:o)
Er, isn't that exactly what happens? I don't have Pe at hand at the
moment, but I'm pretty sure about it. At least for normal vertical cursor
movement. Maybe you're talking about some special case?
Eddie even has some advanced cursor movement features as it keeps the
column even when you insert something after you positioned the cursor.
That's very nice when you have to add or remove something from a number
of subsequent lines.
That sounds useful, too.
Maybe I just don't understand it. Are we talking about the following
behavior:
Line 1:
123456789_
Down
Line 2:
1234_
Type a char
Line 2:
1234W_
Down
Line 3:
123456789_
?
I would find that very confusing.
