  "Like `progn', but change buffer-modified status only if buffer text changes.
If the buffer was unmodified before execution of BODY, and
buffer text after execution of BODY is identical to what it was
before, ensure that buffer is still marked unmodified afterwards.
For example, the following won't change the buffer's modification
status:

  (with-buffer-unmodified-if-unchanged

Note that only changes in the raw byte sequence of the buffer text,
as stored in the internal representation, are monitored for the
purpose of detecting the lack of changes in buffer text.  Any other
changes that are normally perceived as \"buffer modifications\", such
as changes in text properties, `buffer-file-coding-system', buffer
multibyteness, etc. -- will not be noticed, and the buffer will still
be marked unmodified, effectively ignoring those changes."
