Yes, clearly.  I got that.  But why would you even consider
`with-temp-buffer-window', rather than `with-output-to-temp-buffer', as
the end target of your consolidation?

Incorporate whatever you feel you need to into
`with-output-to-temp-buffer', as long as "no feature is lost" from it.
But please do not consider deprecating `with-output-to-temp-buffer'.
It was that possibility that was mentioned and that I replied to.

If you feel that you need to deprecate something here, deprecate the
new addition, `with-temp-buffer-window', which has hardly been used
anywhere.
