That is certainly much more convenient for this case, but it seems a lot
less general...

On the other hand, I guess the redisplay code must already have this code
*somewhere*, because it does it for the echo area.

I think that it's desirable that pos-visible-in-window-p work correctly in
all cases, so it should be fixed regardless, but perhaps if it's simple to
subvert the echo-area code to implement set-window-fully-visible-p, we
could do both.
