One issue I still have here is that the `forwarad-line' might scroll the
window, which `save-window-excursion' doesn't restore.  To fix this I
have written a general macro for subr.el to restore the scroll position:

[0002-Add-new-macro-to-restore-the-scroll-position-of-a-wi.patch (text/x-patch, attachment)]

and updated the previous patch accordingly (+ some other minor
improvements):
