Sorry I failed to follow up on this earlier.  Stefan, do I understand
correctly that you'd be amenable to a new `select-window-hook'
provided that it did not come into play for the ephemeral changes of
selected-window that can occur within a single command?  If so, I'd
like to take a stab at implementing this (I realize that any such hook
could not be checked in until the feature thaw).  Unless anything has
changed since your earlier comment[0], I'd start with your suggestion
of adding the new run_hooks call to Fselect_window after verifying
that all of its current callers can tolerate running arbitrary Elisp.
