The reason of this change to make the first item of the M-n list more deterministic: 1. when there is no thing-at-point, then the first item will be buffer-file-name; 2. and also when there is a thing-at-point, the first item will remain buffer-file-name. Otherwise, it was too unpredictable: after typing 'M-n RET' to use buffer-file-name, it often did a wrong thing when point happened to stay in a thing-at-point.
