+If set to non-zero, the tagbar window initialization will set the |scrolloff|
+value local to the tagbar window to the specified value. This is used to
+position the current tag in the tagbar window. See the help for |scrolloff|
+for more details. If set to a very high value (greater than the height of the
+tagbar window), then the current tag should always stay in the center of the
+tagbar window.
