(defun scroll-bar-scale (num-denom whole)
  "Given a pair (NUM . DENOM) and WHOLE, return (/ (* NUM WHOLE) DENOM).
This is handy for scaling a position on a scroll bar into real units,
like buffer positions.  If SCROLL-BAR-POS is the (PORTION . WHOLE) pair
from a scroll bar event, then (scroll-bar-scale SCROLL-BAR-POS
\(buffer-size)) is the position in the current buffer corresponding to
that scroll bar position."

  ;; We use floating point because the product of a large buffer size
  ;; with a large scroll bar portion can easily overflow a lisp int.
