They shouln't automatically set `buffer-file-name', that is up to the
user. Indeed, as Eli said, temporary buffers has such variable set to nil.
Ibuffer doesn't show the buffer ' foo' visiting a file by default.
Well, that is customizable using `ibuffer-maybe-show-predicates'.
A prefix argument in `ibuffer-update' toggle this variable.
One user might intentionally or accidentaly change the name
of a buffer visiting a file. If we don't show it in `list-buffers'
the user might believe that the file has being deleted.
IMO one buffer visiting a file is always relevant; it's better if
we show it.
