The :g command works by finding a list of lines matching the pattern, setting
the "current" line and executing the command on each of the matched lines in
turn.
So . in a :g command refers to each line acted on.
For simplicity, I will assume you're moving lines to a position outside of your
'a,'b range. You could either give an absolute number directly, or use :exec
'g...'.line('.'), or set a mark on the current line and use that.
