the only plausible reason i can come up with is that if you're drawing
the scrollbar only when you need to and you add the scrollbar on the
left, then all the text will jump rightwards.

it's interesting (ok, ok, it's deadly dull, but i'll continue anyway)
that when steve jobs did nextstep (post leaving apple) he put the
scrollbars on the left; when nextstep became macos X, the scrollbars
were moved to the right.
