I agree that this would be useful for the cases where it actually applies.
The problem is that there's no way to know in advance, for any given file,
how many locations you need to keep track of.

Heaven forbid you should try to figure out the "location of the max" in a
big file where 50% or more of the windows contain the same maximum value.
