No, redisplay doesn't necessarily scroll. It does so only if needed.
So sit-for should not be thought as a way to scroll the window, even
if sometimes it does.

That's okay, but my point is: please do not add to established
functions code that does on behalf of Follow mode something that
conceptually doesn't belong to those functions. OK?
