It cannot be a hook, because from the display engine POV nothing
happened that could trigger a hook.  The visible contents of the
window is different, that's all.

So it shouldn't be a hook, it should be a buffer-local variable that
would change how redisplay behaves in these cases.  I will see what
can be done about it.
