Actually, I suspect that it can be done with a fairly simple
post-command-hook (well, maybe it won't be reliable in the face of output
from filters, but in the absence of a post-redisplay-hook, we'll have to
make do).
I'm not sure it's desirable, tho. But if someone wants to make a minor mode
for it, more power to him.

And to the user, especially with the scrollbar on the left, which causes the
whole buffer to be shifted when adding/removing the scrollbar.
