That's the idea.  The entire text stays put in the window and any
attempt to move the thumb has no effect.  Obviously, users can always
change the window start position by other means but in that case they
are on their own.

There's probably more of that.  For example, I have no idea whether
the car and cdr of 'portion-whole' are always numbers.  Honestly, I
dislike the idea of changing this code myself.  My knowledge of what
scrolling should do is too limited.
