But that means we need to watch variable assignments, marker
modifications, and symbol property modifications. Using overlays gets
us all this "for free" because we already watch all overlay modifications.
The issue of where to store the "record of change" is actually rather
minor (we currently store it in a global var and that's a bug, but
fixing it is fairly easy).
