'bury-buffer' violates referential transparency in the sense that it
does not allow allow a caller to substitute nil for (current-buffer) and
vice versa without also changing its semantics.  This is against what
all other functions with an optional BUFFER-OR-NAME argument do and can
only lead to confusion.
