Are you in effect saying that every buffer that doesn't visit a file
should be trusted?  If that's accepted, it doesn't need any function.
And can we really trust arbitrary ELisp code that to set trust?

And what about buffers whose contents came from a network connection?

What about buffers whose contents came from inserting some file or
part thereof, or were generated by processing some file?

What about buffers whose contents came from a program Emacs invoked?
