Emacs has the possibility to applying vertical scrollbars per-window.

(set-window-scroll-bars (selected-window) nil 'right)

It appears that the inclusion of horizontal scrollbar functionality came later
in the deselopment process.   As it stands, the options for per-buffer and per-window scrollbars seem to affect only vertical scrollbars, with no corresponding options for horizontal scrollbars.

The word "scroll-bars" (in set-window-scroll-bars) effectively goes with the 
assumption that scroll-bars only refer to vertical scrollbars. 

It would be an improvement should the vertical and horizontal scroll bar tools
could be implemented in a more thoughtful way.  So that scroll bars refer to
both vertical and horizontal types.  And that the functionality at per-buffer 
and per-window level is made consistent.
