How's the attached?  The gist of it is that get-buffer-create and
generate-new-buffer gain a new argument for inhibiting buffer hooks,
which is set in with-temp-buffer, with-temp-file, with-output-to-string,
insert-file-contents, Vprin1_to_string_buffer, and code_conversion_save.

Arising questions:

0. Why isn't kill-buffer-hook defined as a DEFVAR_LISP?
   Is it because it has to be defined in init_buffer_once?
   If so, why is that the case?

1. Is it okay for with-temp-buffer, with-temp-file, and
   with-output-to-string to unconditionally inhibit buffer hooks,
   or should this be controlled by e.g. a global variable?

Thanks,

Basil
