deactivate-mark is a global variable and lots of functions happen to
work on internal buffers, which ends up "unwittingly" setting
deactivate-mark to t.
There are 2 directions to try and fix it:
1- let-bind deactivate-mark in functions like pp-to-string so as to
eliminate those spurious deactivations. But there can be many of
them, and it doesn't solve the problem where the buffer-modification
is done in a non-temporary buffer.
2- make deactivate-mark buffer-local. This is "The Right Way" but
might introduce new problems.
E.g. we really should deactivate the mark in all the buffers that
have their deactivate-mark set.
