There have been various discussions that often set-buffer should not be
combined with save-excursion, but better with save-current-buffer or
with-current-buffer. By chance I looked at the docstring of set-buffer,
which (still) says
See also `save-excursion' when you want to make a buffer current
temporarily.
Shouldn't this be changed to something like
See also `save-current-buffer' and `with-current-buffer'...

Thanks, I changed it to say `with-current-buffer' instead.
