Yes.

Well, I should have written explicitly what's wrong with the current
implementation.
When I view a pdf (in pdf-tools as well as in doc-view-mode), I'd like
C-M-v / C-M-S-v to change page when they reach the bottom/top of the
page. Currently, they don't do it, which is a Very Bad Thing™.
Now that I think of it, I guess rewriting scroll-other-window in Elisp
wouldn't help a lot - I'd probably still have to advise them, or else
C-M-v should check what is bound to <next> and <prior> in the buffer to
be scrolled. Does anyone have a better idea how to be able to scroll
a pdf in other window using C-M-v and C-M-S-v?
TIA,
