We made that change to prove the above two lines cause no harm other
than not enabling help-mode. At some stage and probably pretty soon, we
might merge the two macros with-output-to-temp-buffer and
with-temp-buffer-window under one name (the former looks like a simple
case of the latter). So the change is intermediate.
