find-file-noselect is the "single entry" used normally to visit a file
in a normal file buffer, no matter how this is triggered (find-file,
find-file-other-window, clinking on an error in a *compile* buffer, ...)
so it should have excellent coverage.
This advice doesn't prevent Emacs from accessing the file (e.g. you can
still use insert-file-contents to read the file and put it in some
buffer and you can still use M-x insert-file as well), but it would be
*very* weird for a package to use such an approach over just calling
find-file-noselect.
I'll let you judge if it's good enough for your use case.
Stefan
