Sorry, I didn't notice it takes an argument.  Then it's strange
that it doesnt't recenter according to recenter-top-bottom that
uses recenter-positions.  So two most useful behaviors
(recenter-top-bottom for beginning-of-buffer-other-window and
no recentering for end-of-buffer-other-window) are not supported.
Since the default can't be changed, maybe a new optional argument
could define whether to use recenter-top-bottom, or no recenter at all.
