Sorry, I don't understand.

When creating an image, we set its :map property according to the return
value of `image-compute-scaling-factor'.  Once the image is inserted into
the buffer, the user may run `image-increase-size' or `image-rotate',
which changes how the image is displayed but not its :map.

Now, we need to rerun `image-compute-scaling-factor' and recompute :map.
However, there is no hook which runs after the user runs those commands,
so AFAICT there's no way for our code to know when to recompute :map.

Thanks!
