Thanks, installed.

Not sure what you're referring to, but at least the issue of temp
buffers accumulating if to-fn errors out is indeed a problem, but not
a new one, so the patch doesn't make things worse.
with-temp-buffer is not an option, since the new "temp" buffer (usually)
needs to be returned as the new current-buffer at the end of
the function.
