You are right! A bizarre/psychedelic feeling, almost! (Might help I have Emacs on a project in a Linux VT. Try it! You experience everything so much stronger...) This solution amounts to virtually the same - because you already have point at the file, so there is no tour. Only the C-x C-q isn't familiar to me - maybe should change that...
