Hadn't heard about it.  I just looked at
https://github.com/elibarzilay/eliemacs/blob/master/include/scroll-in-place.el
and IIUC all it does is to remember the previous positions during
a sequence of scroll commands, and to use them when scrolling back.

This sounds OK indeed.

It could also be used to let the user go back to where she was before
scrolling (to simulate those other editors where point is not moved to
stay visible while scrolling, so that non-scrolling commands teleport
you right back to where you were).
