Alright, thanks for checking.  Pushed!

Of course.  I think I can write some tests that the viewer selection
procedure works as intended.  Is that what you have in mind?

Wrt. the changed function: I'm not exactly sure how I would test that.
I can probably test that the right viewer function is selected and run
on the right buffer but would skip the display stuff, i.e., that the
generated buffer is visible in some window.

Bye,
