I apologize for the unclear wording.

It is easy to drag the thumb of the scrollbar such that end of buffer
is shown in the first line of the window.  This means that the window
is (nearly) empty.

But I would prefer that it would be easy to drag the thumb of the
scrollbar such that end of buffer is shown in the *last* line of the
window.  IMVHO that's a more interesting position to scroll to.

The big problem is: how to make it *easy* to scroll end of buffer to
the last window line, but *possible* to scroll end of buffer to any
other window line, including the first?
