I would not introduce one more configuration variable. jbol() is not very
likely to be used interactively but rather bound to a key. Then it would be
simple to bind e.g.

  setkey("jbol(0)",                    Key_Home); % move to bol first
  
or 

  setkey("jbol(1)",                    Key_Home); % bol-skip white first


with

public define jbol(skip_white)
{
   if (skip_white)
     bol_skip_white();
   else
     bol();
   if (LAST_KBD_COMMAND == "jbol")
   {
     if (bolp())
       skip_white();
     else
       bol();
   }
}

This would start with the behaviour indicated by the `skip_white' argument
and toggle on subsequent calls.


But, which argument should cua.sl use by default?
