Would it be feasible to make scroll anchoring a much less general mechanism, and to scope it down to handling these specific cases?

I think it's also quite useful for horizontal resizes of the browser
window (which can include device rotation on mobile, window
resizing/maximization on desktop, and also hiding/showing of browser
sidebar UI).
