bug#65451: 30.0.50; `after-change-functions' are not triggered in the same order the changes are made

Hmm... yes, that's bad.  Alan, have you looked at this?

I suspect the best option in the above case is to inhibit the inner
calls to before/after (assuming we're sure they change only the "new
text"), so we'd be down to:

    ⛔ Warning (emacs): Before: 1278 1281
    ⛔ Warning (emacs): After: 1278 1288 delta: 7

AFAIK the above sequences breaks the promise we make about
`before-change-functions` and `after-change-functions`.

Almost all the non-trivial users of those hooks (i.e. basically those
that need to use both hooks) have extra sanity and raise the heads up in
despair when faced with things like the above (my `track-changes.el`
lacks such sanity checks, but that's because it's a PoC).
