Do you propose the code should diff the old and the new input + cursor
position to find out if it's different, and only call it in that case?
Because that doesn't sound like any fun to me. It also seems highly
unlikely to me that a self-insert does _not_ result in a new output,
so when would the hook ever not be called in this case?
