I was thinking such a feature could be used simply to optimize
`auto-revert-mode' and `global-auto-revert-mode'.
Whether it's worth it, I don't know. Is the cost of the current
implementation of global-auto-revert-mode high enough to be a problem,
or the granularity too coarse?
[I guess it's actually quite system-dependent]
