My point is that using jit-lock machinery, you will never miss an
update, because redisplay is very good at knowing when something needs
to be redrawn.  It has to.  By contrast, all those hooks are less
reliable, and also make Emacs sluggish, because the hooks are many
times triggered when there's nothing to do wrt display.
