Pretty much everything that is not going to end with a user-visible
buffer.  For example, with-temp-file.

If this was done in general, I would be tempted to let AUCTeX register
a pseudo-version control system for its parsing stuff (which looks for
a bunch of other files) so that the parsing stuff necessary for the
user backend happens only when necessary.

But perhaps the latter is a bit too much trickery.
