Yes, of course not.  It needs to return a list of buffers. That's why I
wrote that we need to "make sure that the list of buffers returned is
the same in all cases as what is returned today." ^^^^^^^

That all I meant by handled (treated) by `find-file*', not that
there is a `condition-case' with a handler.  The point is that the
behavior should remain the same; that's all.  If it does, fine.

Thanks for looking at and testing these things.
