Subject: 24.1.50; docstring of set-buffer
Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2012 14:40:11 -0500

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'...
