I see a possible misunderstanding here: the way scrolling works in
Emacs, it moves point and then lets the display engine scroll the text
in the window to make point visible.  So the two use cases you try to
differentiate are actually indistinguishable as far as the display
engine is concerned.  For example, invoking goto-char invokes the same
display code as scrolling commands, which is why scroll-conservatively
is obeyed even by goto-char (as many users expect).
