There is subtle, platform-specific scrollbar behavior that took me a long
time to get right when I wrote the Chromium scrollbar implementation, such
as exactly how snapping the scrollbar back should work when dragging too far
off the bar both horizontally and vertically, and how scrollbars should
behave once shrunk to tiny sizes.  I don't think these things will be the
same on, say, Windows versus Mac (at least not for ports whose scrollbars
pretend to be fully platform-native), so it's not clear how the redesign
will accommodate these.
