Stashing point when undisplaying a buffer can be done automatically
without harming anyone. The DWIM semantics would only show up if/when
the user wants to use one of those stashed points.

I know, but that's what needs to happen: someone should take the
experience of mmm-mode, mumamo, and friends and come up with some set of
"rules" which major modes should follow so that these things can
work reliably.
Once that's done, it's only a matter of going around and adapting the
existing major modes to those rules, and providing some infrastructure
so that new major modes can follow those rules easily.
