The docstring of `with-temp-buffer-window' contains :

   It does not make the buffer current for BODY.

(2nd sentence of 2nd paragraph).

But I think that is wrong, because :
(with-temp-buffer-window
        (get-buffer-create "foo")

        nil
        (message "curbuf: %s"
                 (current-buffer)))

outputs "curbuf: foo"
