No, I consider that a "dynamic property", tied to the state of the
buffer+window.

I think there have to be some restore functions specific for major and
minor modes to do something like this. (And not even this will do it,
it might be about an overall state, not a per buffer state.)

So to fix this we have to define states to restore. I have done
miniscule work on this, restoring hi-lock overlays, but that is of
course a very minor (but useful) thing. But as an example that is what
I mean.
