I don't have any strong opinion whether this should be a public api, i
just think that could be useful somehow. perhaps it could be a helper
function in svn_io.h that wc's versioned_file_modified_p could also
use.

Adding md5 checks before the byte-by-byte checks could catch the
differences earlier between some fixed-size binaries.

Well, it seems to me more like a consistencies fix for editors: today
they already know if open_file is called but no apply_textdelta called,
it means the file content isn't modified. While with a wrapper to
window_handler, you'll have to change every editor, and have call stack
overhead for every window, although also insignificant.
