It's not really "dependent" is it? In other words, the only thing that it needs
the position for is to convert a move to algebraic notation. I think any kind of
move structure is going to run into the same problem and have to have some kind
of "pretty print" function that takes a position. I was just thinking that there
might be a nice way to be able to do move->toString(ALGEBRAIC); without having
to do move->toString(ALEBRAIC, &position); but I suppose it wouldn't be THAT big
of a deal since it's only output and it's not super critical anyway.
