I can see the advantages of this, and I have made some code which
*almost* works for this as well (scroll-at-bottom).  But for some
reason which I have not yet figured out, the added code to do this
breaks the / command....  So this will not be part of the initial
6.4.0 - but maybe in a future patch...
