The comments in redisplay code don't talk about Lisp.  There's no Lisp
running when redisplay happens, except through safe_eval.  These
comments talk about asynchronous entry to redisplay mentioned in the
large commentary near the beginning of xdisp.c.  AFAIU, this
asynchronous entry is no longer possible.
