It's very hard to keep a discussion with such long pauses. I don't
even remember what we were discussing the last time and what issues
remained unresolved.

Why do we need 2 flags? Are they indeed orthogonal, or can we have a
single variable (perhaps with more than 2 states)?

This is waaaay too terse for such a significant change...

Why do we need to have changes in pixel-scroll.el be part of this
changeset? It makes the changes harder to review, and is not really
related to the changes in the display code.

Don't you need to test keep_point_visible as well here? If not, why
not?

Should the logic of whether and how to obey the force_start flag be
confined to the display code, instead of having part of it here? What
does it mean when you set the w->start point, but do NOT set the
w->force_start flag?

This and the rest of changes in window_scroll_pixel_based are
impossible to review: you replaced the "n > 0" condition with a
different one, and now the rest of the diffs are completely
unreadable.
I also don't understand how come the exact same code which was
previously run only for n > 0 is now run for any value of 'n', and
_by_default_ (since scroll_move_point is non-zero by default)? How
can that be TRT??

I'm not sure I understand this part. Why do you need to change the
values of BEG_UNCHANGED and END_UNCHANGED -- those are supposed to be
changed only by code that modifies the buffer text.

These braces are redundant.

You want to display window around the change, but not bring point
there? Is that a good idea?

Why do we need this maybe_try_window stuff? It seems to repeat
existing code, doesn't it?
Thanks.
