"halfway a line" is a very confusing phrase

If you Google for this phrase found in the Vim documentation you'll find
almost exclusively hits from the Vim documentation. I think changing
"halfway a line" to "halfway through a line" makes more sense.

There seems to be an pervasive odd use of the word 'halfway' in the
original docs which I'm updating everywhere.
