Actually, I would have suggested post-command-hook, but if you want to
do it a bit more lazily (e.g. not react to changes within
a keyboard-macro, for example), then an idle hook is the next
logical step.

The main issue is that you want to deal with "the user-perceived
changes", rather than actual detailed changes, and the user only
perceives changes when a redisplay occurs or between commands.
