True, but if we had extents, then *both* approaches could be used. If
it was inconvenient to record a list of your extents, then you could
just search for them by property. I've often found recording lists to
be inconvenient in the modes I've written; but I can see how it would be
a very good approach to use in other situations.
Note that Emacs already has `next-single-char-property-change'; I
believe the very existence of this function supports my argument.
