? It is already the default, and it's called
`comint-scroll-show-maximum-output'.
However, we also find this comment in `comint-mode':
;; Following disabled because it seems to break the case when
;; comint-scroll-show-maximum-output is nil, and no-one can remember
;; what the original problem was. If there are problems with point
;; not going to the end, consider re-enabling this.

;;
;; This makes it really work to keep point at the bottom.
;; (make-local-variable 'scroll-conservatively)
;; (setq scroll-conservatively 10000)
The last two lines were added by rms in 2002, and commented out by Glenn
in 2007.
