If @var{update} is non-@code{nil}, @code{window-end} always returns an
up-to-date value for where the window ends, based on the current
@code{window-start} value. If the saved value is valid,
@code{window-end} returns that; otherwise it computes the correct
value by scanning the buffer text.
Even if @var{update} is non-@code{nil}, @code{window-end} does not
attempt to scroll the display if point has moved off the screen, the
way real redisplay would do. It does not alter the
@code{window-start} value. In effect, it reports where the displayed
text will end if scrolling is not required.
