I see what I want then is the same as what I want now, an additional:

g: never mind saving anymore files, just let me visit that buffer now,
and don't bother waiting for me.

There must be some lisp way of doing that other than something like
system("exec emacsclient -n that_file&")?

We don't need save-some-buffers to do anything more at this point other
than call switch-to-buffer that_files_buffer, and then that's the end of
switch-to-buffer

OK, maybe what is making this impossible is
save-some-buffers-action-alist. But this is getting over my head.
