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... (ha. what does
that mean?)
