I often type C-l when to point is *near* the middle of the buffer, just
to slightly adjust the display.  Sometimes, the point is already in the
very middle and I don't notice it, and typing C-l just leaves the point
where it is -- which is fine.

I would find it disturbing to see the point jumping at the beginning of
the window when it is at the middle of the window.  For me, the middle
of the window is kind of a gravity center, and hitting C-l should go
there first, even when the point is already at the middle of the window.
