Actually, I think we should first get vertical scroll bars (and
scroll-up/scroll-down) to get a reasonably good job at providing a
smooth scroll experience in the presence of tall lines/images.
While we are at the point where there is some sort of guarantee to go
in the general intended direction (there had been looping a lot in
Emacs 21), the amounts of scrolling are somewhat hard to control.
