Ah. iswitchb-mode must have been added after I set up iswitchb
(which I've been using for many years) I was most likely following
this advice which is still in the file header comment block as of emacs
23:
;; Replacement for read-buffer
;; iswitchb-read-buffer has been written to be a drop in replacement
;; for the normal buffer selection routine `read-buffer'. To use
;; iswitch for all buffer selections in Emacs, add:
;; (setq read-buffer-function 'iswitchb-read-buffer)
I'll switch over, but from some experimentation, it seems like using
read-buffer-function no longer
works properly (for example, without the minibuffer-setup-hook,
iswitchb-read-buffer
is even less functional than the default). Perhaps that comment should
be removed?
