So you want a function that does (let ((source-buf (current-buffer))) (with-current-buffer target-buf (insert-buffer-substring source-buf ...))) is that it? > This sort of thing comes up mostly when doing stuff with temporary > buffers, so I wonder whether we should consider adding a special form > for it.

If it's something one must do a lot, maybe...
