Can we get some more input on this? Others: Do you appreciate this warning or not? Why? No opinion? Do you understand why you should not use `set-buffer' with `save-excursion'? If you like the warning, is its wording and meaning clear enough? Suggestions? Beyond this list, what about polling the users? (Have we had any user polls since Richard passed the torch?)
