Visit a file `foo' in a buffer. Close the window, but don't kill the buffer. 2. Delete file `foo' (e.g. `delete-file' or some other way that doesn't also kill the buffer). 3. `C-x C-f foo' Perhaps it should visit the buffer foo, and give a warning that the file no longer exists. That seems better to me. Does anyone disagree? (To ask what to do would be surprising and inconvenient.)
