It's just that my experience with installing a pre-command hook to do
something like this turned out to be so much work that having a
specialized event loop was saner. In any case, I think that this is
not easy, and frankly, with a proper in-place scrolling, I don't see
any need for it beyond some rare occasional use of some command to
remember a place to go back to.
