  ** You can now use Auto Revert mode to `tail' a file.
  If point is at the end of a file buffer before reverting, Auto Revert
  mode keeps it at the end after reverting.  Similarly if point is
! displayed at the end of a file buffer in any window, it will stay at
  the end of the buffer in that window.  This allows to tail a file:
! just put point at the end of the buffer and it will stay there.  This
  rule applies to file buffers.  For non-file buffers, the behavior may
  be mode dependent.
