Please don't do this now (if ever).

That would uglify the code enormously, as well as causing many patching
conflicts for out-of-tree code involving redisplay.

Since the glyph stuff wasn't the cause of the problems I was seeing, there
doesn't seem to be any urgency to making this particular aspect of glyph
debugging easier.
