I was going to suggest that, but I wanted to test it first because its
documentation is unclear on whether it gets run for a new buffer in an
existing window (and haven't gotten around to said testing). Another
possibility was buffer-list-update-hook, but you'd have to figure out on
your own whether there was a new buffer and if so, which it was.

'advice'ing get-buffer-create should catch all the cases, but that's a C
function, and it might be wandering into deep magic (and intractable
debugging).
