The end result will probably be very similar in practice, but if you
look at the definition of with-selected-window and of all the functions
it calls, you'll see that with-current-buffer is super-extra lean
in comparison.  And in the current situation all we care about is to set
the buffer-local value of a variable, so the window is of no importance
(other than to find the relevant buffer).
