M-0 C-l is something you usually type on purpose. Scrolling the mouse
wheel past the end of file is something you will frequently do by
accident if you use a mouse wheel. Going past EOF doesn't really have
a sane use. [1] [2]

[1] But of course, it should be made configurable so all the nutty
    purists out there can have it their way, too.

[2] Granted, I'm also not sure that mice have a sane use.
