Thanks. I figured emacs must have this somewhere. I was getting lost
in a list of apropos results all subtly different.
Follow-up question. Is there a "proper" way to use this function for
general buffer focus operations or do you need to rely on modes
having customisable buffer switch functions like magit's
magit-status-buffer-switch-function? At the moment I'm looking at
compilation-mode's goto error code and it's less than obvious to me
how the eventual switch happens.
