The documentation for "modification-hooks" on overlays says:

     If these functions modify the buffer, they should bind
     ‘inhibit-modification-hooks’ to ‘t’ around doing so, to avoid
     confusing the internal mechanism that calls these hooks.

But as far as I can see, the only place these gets called
"signal_after_change"
and "signal_before_change", inhibit-modification-hooks is already specbound
to t, so this advice is unnecessary.

Also, the documentation for inhibit-modification-hooks says:

     If you do want modification hooks to be run in a particular
     piece of code that is itself run from a modification hook, then
     rebind locally ‘inhibit-modification-hooks’ to ‘nil’.

which suggests that, in fact, it is possible to call the modification
hooks from inside another call to these functions.


This is true for both emacs-25 and master.
