I don't know, what I meant with transient buffer is that it isn't
persistent, as is the case with C-h C-h where a new window pops up that
is no different than any other window and behaves consistently.
Transient buffers, in my experience, usually gobble up all key-presses
and re-implement their own "MVC" that can differ in subtle points.
