I want to find out what is the current buffer, and I mean the REAL current buffer. In particular, if that is the minibuffer, I want to be told it's the (or a) minibuffer, not the buffer it was invoked from. The function current-buffer won't do this. I want to use this for writing the current buffer into the new position info in the doc string (bug #67455). Evaluating a defun in the minibuffer is different from evaluating one in *scratch*. Is there some way I can get this information from Lisp, or do I have to write a new C primitive? Thanks in advance! -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
