It's not difficult to see why the remaining calls are correct: they want
to do the same thing as C-x C-q, either acting on a different buffer or
with a different interactive invocation.  Examples include
mode-line-toggle-read-only and Buffer-menu-toggle-read-only.

Adding another function, rather than simply using toggle-read-only, is
an unnecessary level of indirection.
