I guess it would be useful for window-end (or some other function) to
return not just `point-max' when the EOB is displayed, but additionally
indicate where that EOB is displayed (so you can avoid calling
`recenter' if EOB is already at the bottom).

Yup.  I think a good place would be a new `after-redisplay-functions'.
Those functions would be called with one argument (the redisplayed
window) right after rebuilding the glyph matrix of a window (and only
if that matrix has changed).

I believe this hook shouldn't be too difficult to add.

A related hook would be `before-redisplay-functions' which I'd also like
to see added.  This one is a bit trickier, because we don't want to call
it for every existing window, but only for those which actually require
a redisplay.  I would *really* like to see such a hook (reveal-mode
could use it, the region-highlighting code could use it).
