Should ending successful Isearch with C-g restore the relative window position? |

In a buffer with multiple occurrences of "the", position the window so that one
of the occurrences is near the top of the window. Now do C-s the C-s C-s...
This successfully visits occurrences of "the", and if there are enough of them
then it scrolls the window to do this. Now hit C-g to exit Isearch.
Point is moved back to its starting position (good). But now that position,
instead of being near the window top, is in the center of the window.
`goto-char' has, in effect, recentered the point in the window.
To me, this is a misfeature. I would much rather have the original window
position, as well as point, restored. That is, I would rather see the cursor in
the same relative window location as it was before searching.
Is there some advantage of the current behavior that I'm missing? Am I the only
one who thinks that restoring the window position along with point would be
better?
