Subject: bug#12916: 24.2; Completion for "C-x b" does not include current buffer

Hmm... I'd expect the user to know in which buffer she is when she hits
C-x b.
I often switch to a buffer without noticing I am already in it.
I have not made a note of the specific circumstances. If you really
want to know, I will start noting that down.
I think one case is after some other command that switched buffers,
such as C-x k, or C-c C-c in a mail buffer. In that situation I start
typing C-x b R TAB RET before my mind recognizes which buffer it left
me in.
