I have modified goto-work to be (interactive) and would have expected
that I could then use M-x goto-work to go to the current position of
work-string at any time. But surprisingly, after the hook is run the
boundp test always fails, as if the buffer-local value went away after
initialization. Any simple fix?
TIA,
Albert.
