Heh, no, that's what classy people do...

OT (on topic): I'm not getting `recenter' to work in
the other window. This, within
a `with-current-buffer' with an explicit buffer
argument

  (unless (pos-visible-in-window-p (point) (selected-window))
    (recenter) )

says

  ‘recenter’ing a window that does not display
  current-buffer

which seems to be what I want, but nothing happens.

BTW, I got the code from [1] where `or' is used.
That way of using or is cool in cases such as

  (or maybe-set-var-1 ... maybe-set-var-n default-hard-coded-value)

but in the stated `pos-visible-in-window-p'/recenter
case I think `unless' is better unless I'm ignorant
of something...
