The display engine doesn't know what kind of user gestures (or even
Lisp program) caused the scroll, so doing that cleanly won't be easy,
if at all feasible.  And Emacs users are likely to dislike a solution
that makes such a distinction, since many of them don't use the mouse.

You'd prefer to have the editing command change the buffer in the
portion that stays invisible?  IMNSHO, that'd be not just more
jarring, it would be appalling.
