That would be using a definition of "nice" very different from the one
I'm familiar with ;-)
BTW, you might like to M-x report-emacs-bug and request exactly this
feature for "preserving window-specific point". It can probably be
implemented in a *much* lighter way than by using indirect-buffers.

It is very powerful, but as you've seen indirect-buffers only work to
some extent for that purpose and the problems you bump into are largely
unsolvable. So it's not going in the right direction.
I think they really fit perfectly the definition of attractive-nuisance.
