I haven't seen this requirement yet for any mode. Let's postpone this,
until there is a real request for this kind of distinction.
Furthermore, we shouldn't expect a deep knowledge from major mode
writers about the internals of auto-revert. People might have a hard
time to understand the difference between notify-only and
notify-and-poll.
Best regards, Michael.
