Can't remember offhand - maybe.

It is not appropriate for "global modes" to add text properties
everywhere - that's even worse than using post-command-hook IMO.

I cannot say for sure.
I have had various ideas over the years, but did not pursue them
of lack of a simple way to hook this into existing framework.
One example I recall is to properly restore window buffers
after displaying the *Help* buffer - the current "suggested
restore previous buffer command" falls flat on its face if
you have two windows showing different portions of the same buffer -
and one of the windows is taken by the *Help* buffer.
Focus/unfocus window would be used to change the background
color of active/inactive window.
enter-buffer / exit-buffer I know I needed at some point, but
I don't recall right now.
