How does it deal with changing buffer locations?

I mean, if you're editing a new command line at the same time that some
text is being output into the buffer by the subprocess, then if you
don't record the subprocess output in the undo list (and you don't want
to), then the buffer positions recorded in buffer-undo-list become
invalid, as they're simply integers (not markers).

My attempted solution was to scan through buffer-undo-list, updating
those position, every time I inserted some "hidden from undo" text.
[This isn't typically a performance problem because _usually_
buffer-undo-list is nil when process output is occuring.]

Thanks,
