Subject: bug#16038: 24.3; latest change to with-help-window makes temp-buffer-browse useless
Date: Tue, 03 Dec 2013 22:34:36 +0800
with-help-window has been changed to use with-temp-buffer-window.
temp-buffer-window-show has special treatment for
temp-buffer-resize-mode but not temp-buffer-browse-mode (in GNU ELPA).

There seems to be a significant overlap between with-temp-buffer-window
and with-output-to-temp-buffer. I wonder if there is a better design of
with-temp-buffer-window that re-use/blend with
with-output-to-temp-buffer. I also find the similar hooks (setup/show
hooks) between these macros confusing.

Maybe what need isn't a macro close to with-output-to-temp-buffer but
one (e.g with-temp-window) close to with-temp-buffer.

Thank you for considering these points,
Leo
