I notice that `recenter' has the effect of calling (redisplay t); that
is, it seems to force a redisplay. I don't see this mentioned
anywhere. It might be helpful to mention it. We might want to mention
it in the Elisp manual node Textual Scrolling, where `recenter' is
covered, and also in node Forcing Redisplay, where redisplay is
covered (with an xref to Textual Scrolling).
 
Users who want to both recenter and redisplay might want to know
that `recenter' alone suffices.
 
Users who do not want to force a redisplay might want to know that
`recenter' does that.
