Switching windows to look around in another buffer certainly can run
hooks right now. We have pre-command-hook, post-command-hook, we have
focus events and of course we have the "display" property which can
run Lisp code, and which will get triggered upon redisplay.
All of those however are connected with windows and the user interface
and the current _window_. The current _buffer_ is something which is
not visible and which can be switched around from C.
