But you don't need scrolling functionality for that, just a longer Buffer to 
redraw properly. (Which would increase memory usage of course.. but well.. 
patch?)

I'd really dislike scrolling. Maybe I'm prejudiced because of bad configuration 
but I always got pissed of when I scrolled inside an active 
less/vim/mutt/whatever session. What your terminal program than displays is 
rubbish.
I don't get it.. I never thought it's a nice feature..

Scrolling should be handled by the individual program IMHO.
