Granted, I know that.  However, since Emacs knows the size of the
screen, it could compute the equivalent of lines in screen units.  And
even if not, the approximate size of today's windows is known in
advance, and what's important (to me) is to keep the slowing-down
effect of Shift, even if it slows down by a different ratio.
