Worse: it's not uncommon to run code which doesn't really care about its
current-buffer, so it's not always correct to presume that the settings
of the current-buffer should be used.  We already suffer from such
problems in some corner cases with code that uses `\<` or `\_<` in
regexps matching on strings (rather than buffer content) where the
result can unexpectedly depend on the buffer which happens to
be current.
