 doc-view-toggle-display chokes if default major-mode is text-mode
Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2019 21:42:52 -0600

Start `emacs -Q'
eval  (setq-default major-mode 'text-mode)
visit a pdf or postscript file
Type C-c C-c twice
doc-view-toggle-display: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

The problem is that doc-view-toggle-display assumes that if the
major-mode is text-mode the user is viewing the document's text
contents.  But that's incorrect if the default value of major-mode
is text-mode so that this mode is also used for a "raw" pdf or
postscript file.
