With-output-to-temp-buffer calls get-buffer-create and redirects standard
output to it.
If you want to do /other/ things with your new buffer, you'll need the
first function.
Try looking up its docstring (C-h f with-output-to-temp-buffer), perhaps
follow the link to its source. It's short and sweet.
Cheers

Including text properties seems to make with-output-to-temp-buffer fail.
Are text properties part of those other things where I would need
get-buffer-create ?
