Hmm - I think that name sounds a bit too general to me. I don't know - it's all a bit messy. `with-output-to-temp-buffer' displays the buffer. That's also a bit surprising. (info "(elisp) Temporary Displays") says: -- User Option: temp-buffer-show-function If this variable is non-=E2=80=98nil=E2=80=99, =E2=80=98with-output-to= -temp-buffer=E2=80=99 calls it as a function to do the job of displaying a help buffer. ^^^^ The name "temp" is everywhere. And it is, in the context of buffer display (in the wider sense), more or less synonymous with "help buffer" (in the wider sense again). If it's too late to change all of the related names, maybe we should describe the naming habits more explicitly so that it is less confusing and more discoverable. Michael.
