bug#27932: 26.0.50; Feature request: prevent scroll commands from changing the buffer location of point

Ok I think I understand.

Then, the proposed feature would require a rethink of that approach,
because user-requested scrolling (C-v, M-v, mouse-wheel) would _not_
be driven by point movement, obviously.
