Can I make the C code acquainted with the functions of scroll-lock.el?
If this is what would remedy the situation.  I'm a bit confused because
in scroll-lock.el, the goal column is updated if `last-command' is _not_
among the scrolling functions.

There are no display properties, AFAICS.  And if I open the raw dir file
the behavior is even worse, meaning point will not jump back into the
previous column at all once it got stuck to column 0.
