Actually, why not bind inhibit-modification-hooks to t while running
after-change-functions (and friends)?

Those very rare hooks where modification hooks should not be inhibited
(don't know of any, but let's assume they may exist), they can rebind
inhibit-modification-hooks to nil.

This is an idea comparable to binding inhibit-quit while running timers,
filters, and sentinels.
