In addition, you could change st-move to work in pixels instead of
lines. Then you could use posn-at-x-y inside st-move to find the
position at a given Y offset from the current window-start, and move
the new window-start to that position. This should eliminate the need
to use vertical-motion in st-move even if you need to scroll by one or
a few screen lines. The conversion of the number of lines to pixels
is straightforward using default-line-height.
