I'm afraid that 'buffer-list-update-hook' is too coarse for your
purpose - it gets called too often for unrelated events like creating
or killing some completely unrelated buffer.  If you think that
running a hook after selecting a window with NORECORD nil would fit
the bill better, let's try it.  Many people have asked for such a hook
and we always rejected it (Bug#7381, Bug#16436).  Maybe it is time to
reconsider.

We'd probably need to come up with examples from our code base in
order to decide what to implement and how.
