Which existing understanding is that? where does it exist?

And what do you presume is being scrolled "up": the text or the
window? should C-v be regarded as scrolling "up" or "down"? should
PageDown be bound to scroll-down-command or scroll-up-command?

Thank you for your valuable advice regarding file and package
organization in Emacs, but we have other ideas, so no, thanks.
