Why? AFAICT only replace-buffer-contents modifies the buffer and it
only does it atomically.

Why 2 separate functions?

PS: I wish replace-buffer-contents interpreted a string as the text to
use as replacement rather than as a buffer name (which I find almost
always to be a misfeature: better call `get-buffer` explicitly when we
need to convert a string to a buffer). I think we should start by
deprecating this "can be a buffer name" usage ASAP.
