When I replaced functions like insert-buffer with insert-buffer-substring, I
noticed that (besides not clobbering the mark) I was replacing a compiled lisp
function with one that was built-in. This presumably had a speed advantage.
with-current-buffer is `just a macro' (for the above construction) as is
dolist (which I have used, so you can teach an old dog *some* new tricks)
so presumably there is no speed advantage. Looking at dolist it might even be
slower. Would it make sense for someone (more clever than me) to re-write
these as built-in functions ?
