I also stumbled over this behaviour in my csv plugin. I think this is
documented somewhere, but can't find it currently. What I usually do,
is either surround the call to the function by
winsaveview()/winrestview() calls. But this gets ugly when mappings
thing so I instead simply call the function without a range but have
the function take 2 extra arguments for the range.
