I am not saying that commit message is the full truth.
But I did not find any other relevant discussion about
`buffer-substring' on the mailing list. (And commit message did not
contain any reference to such discussion)

So, I simply used information that was available to me to check
Michaels' claim.

If you have a link to the discussion leading to obsolete of
`buffer-substring', feel free to share it.
