Even with scroll-conservatively, there are situations where the
centering displays stuff after the buffer end, by playing around with
C-v / M-v. Another way is to find a file, M->, then C-x 2 and C-x
1. There's a lot of other ways. This is in contrast with most
editors/browsers, which don't allow you to scroll past the end of the
buffer, ever. I'm not 100% sure whether I want that behavior for emacs
generally. However, I do want it for ERC / shells.
