For example, in this very window I look at right now, the
whole lower part of the buffer is displayed - it says "Bottom"
in the mode bar - still I can scroll down even more, and - what
Emacs calls scroll "up" BTW - by evaluating this

(scroll-up 1)

to just show more and more empty space.

If we can find out from Elisp that we are already at the
bottom, we wouldn't do that in a supposed wrapper function.
I don't know how to find that out but if possible and anyone
knows do tell as then I could write the function easily that
I had in mind and show you.
