Hm, this had one unintended consequence, apparently -- in a mode I have
that inserts image thumbnails (using with-silent-modifications when
slapping a 'display property over some text), the buffer wasn't updated
afterwards...  So perhaps this needs a rethink, or (at least)
documentation.

But it's slightly unusual -- it's running very asynchronously, so
there's no user input while it's fetching the images from the net.
(Once I do anything in Emacs, it updates the window.)  Is that why the
effect isn't noticeable with normal font locking?  Hm...
