Yes, you have to do it like that. Point is always on-screen: this
assumption is wired into all sorts of places and can never change. But
what we *can* do is make point invisible after a motion command (pure
motion only, not e.g. isearch, which means scroll-*-command only) that
should leave point offscreen, then detect any *other* command (in the
same way that e.g. `repeat' does) and jump back to where we were at the
start of this chain of scroll commands, emptying the SIP-last-scroll
lists and making point visible again.
