> The text of the indirect buffer is always identical to the text of its
base buffer; changes made by editing either one are visible immediately in
the other. But in all other respects, the indirect buffer and its base
buffer are completely separate. They can have different names, different
values of point, different narrowing, different markers, different major
modes, and different local variables.
