It seems like even this `buffer' argument is very much an "interactive"
feature since it causes the buffer to be displayed, which may cause new
windows/frames to be created.
Makes me wonder: does any code use this `buffer' argument? My guess is
that it's only used by things like the command-line-arg processing
(and/or the emacs-server). We had better make it more clear: do not use
it from Elisp unless you know what you're doing (i.e. add it to
byte-compile-interactive-only-functions).
