That might be an argument if the desired emacs behavior was somehow
totally bizarre -- but it's not, it merely pushes the boundaries a bit
beyond what other GTK apps do. There are various ways to think of the
suggested behavior (such as pushing the bar into a hole in the end or
something), but the basic point is that it _feels_ natural and
`plausible'; it doesn't break the illusion of manipulating a physical
thing, as you claim.
