Same for me.  The name `with-work-buffer' clearly stay that you are
using a work buffer, which is actually a temp buffer, excepted that
the implementation try to minimize the number of new allocated buffer.

`with-work-buffer' could be safely replaced by `with-temp-buffer' and
probably `with-temp-buffer' by `with-work-buffer' in many cases.
