Meanwhile, it turned out that what's requested is something else: when
the user or a Lisp program deliberately scrolls the text, leave point
where it was, instead of moving it to be visible in the new contents
of the window.  This would need changes to window-scrolling code in
window.c, to avoid moving point.
