Sorry, I misunderstood that message.  I didn't realize that
w3m-goto-article-function was solely for this purpose -- I thought it
was more generic, and thus needed to be set buffer-local.

The reason I think this patch is needed is that I've already
configured Emacs to visit URLs the way I like.  I was surprised to
find that I had to make another modification, in a different and more
obscure (w3m-goto-article-function is not customizable) place to get
the effect I want.

If you do all your browsing in Emacs then you probably already have
browse-url-browser-function set as you like...
