If you take a look at the documentation of next-line, you'll find that
it goes to considerable pain to navigate _visually_ already without your
patch. It vscrolls tall lines, it tries maintaining the current column
and a few other things.
So it makes some sense to let them move visual lines. That leaves us
without an approach to logical lines. C-e C-f can be used to move to
the next line, but not if those are mapped to logical movement as well.
move-end-of-line and move-beginning-of-line inherently don't do visual
work. So I think that for a default behavior, just affecting next-line,
previous-line, scroll-up, scroll-down and possibly other visual-content
related commands sounds reasonable and more or less in spirit to what is
there already.
