Instead of constant 4 it would be more correct to use either
`hscroll-margin' or `hscroll-step'. However, I'm not sure which one.
Each of them makes sense:
- hscroll-margin defines how many columns away from the window edge
point is allowed to get. So after reaching the end of a long line
inside this margin point could be moved outside the scroll margin
to the column defined by the value of hscroll-margin. Its current
default value 5 is a good value for this functionality and will
remain unchanged.
- hscroll-step defines how many columns to scroll the window when
point gets too close to the edge. This variable could be used
to define how many columns to scroll from the window edge when
point jumps to the end of a long line. Its current default
value 0 (center) would be changed to 5.

Currently, with modified hscroll parameters point is positioned to the
sum of (hscroll-margin + hscroll-step) columns from the right edge
which is too far. It should move by either hscroll-margin or hscroll-step.
