If we change this behaviour now, we'll probably break many plugins, that
expect the cursor to be in a different place after that command.
Having said that, I personally don't like the <restore> argument as
well. Perhaps we could use a new command modifier like
:keeppos windo ...
That could be useful for other commands as well.
