We should definitely document the column offset being 1-based, if it hasn't been already. But be careful, there are some APIs that are 0-based and others that are 1-based, for column offsets.

I was quite surprised at some point to find out that we were inconsistent with the column offset, and then I looked at what Emacs and vim do, and I found that both interpret column offsets (in the familiar "filename:lineno:offset: message" format) as 1-based. IIRC I had to fix it in quite a few places because we were actually being inconsistent.
