If you use tags then you must deal with "line.char" indices - there is no way to refer to parts of the text without doing so. i was using (concantate "1." string-index) for tags before - until i realised it wouldnt hold for lines other than the first one.

in Tcl/Tk "Text" widget index has "line.char" but Entry has just
numerical value.
if you insist in having same format, then concatenate it with "1.", but
I don't understand how this could be useful.
