Yes, I know about WM_DISPLAYCHANGE (although we currently only handle
the full-screen frames there). But the corresponding X feature
requires the use of a special X module, and I don't know what happens
on macOS. So I thought a platform-independent method that always
works, and can be implemented in just one place, is a better
alternative.
Besides, adding one more special event comes with minor disadvantages
of its own -- one more event to disregard in situations like
while-no-input etc.
