  Surprisingly enough, I think there isn't.  About fontifying,
lazy-lock for example have 'save-buffer-state'.  Other packages
define their own macros to do that.

  I think the point is that there is no simple way to say "keep
the flag unmodified if I modify only tprops".  While it is
possible to "keep the flag unmodified if I modify the buffer, in
any way" (modifying text as well as tprops).  I think it's what
are doing all the macros/functions like 'with-buffer-unmodified',
'save-buffer-state', etc. (restoring the state after eval'ing
their body, *not* depending on what the body makes).

  For example, try the following (by 'C-x C-e' after the closing
parenthesis):

    (with-current-buffer (generate-new-buffer "*test*")
      (nxml-with-unmodifying-text-property-changes
        (insert "some text")))

  You've got a new buffer, named "*test*", modified since its
creation because the insertion of "some text", but still with the
modification flag to NIL.

  Well, all that is what I *think*.  If you want more precise
informations, maybe the best is to ask on c.emacs, g.e.help or
emacs-devel.
