As far as I can tell the needed hook(s) don't exist yet.

The redisplay engine is completely different; that's why we forked in
the first place, and then GNU redid theirs from scratch for XEmacs 21.

I suspect that GNU Emacs has a notion of "window-local" variable.
XEmacs does not.  Instead, it implements the abstract notion of
"place" which can be a UI element (window, frame) or a buffer, as a
"specifier".

But is this independent of operations like "bury-buffer"?
