I don't know why `recenter' is not `recenter-window'
like other existing functions e.g. `reposition-window'.
Maybe for historical reasons.  But `recenter-group'
will add more ambiguity: recenter what? what group?

This abstraction is not needed as long as window groups are used
only in one package follow.el.
