Let me elaborate on what I mean by "deduction".
I think there is a rule (unwritten but understood?) on how
non-file-visiting buffers are named. I think these rules can be entered
in law books are recognized as a precedent that cannot be breached.
In the new scheme,
A buffer created with the name "testing" will be deemed as
potentially-file-visiting, while one created with name "*testing*" will
be treated as non-file-visiting.
One has to just settle on the pattern of names that make a buffer
non-file-visiting. Anything that doesn't match this pattern will be
potentitally-file-visiting.
