Really?  AFAIK the one function in that family that's shunned is
`switch-to-buffer` (because its intention is unclear: sometimes it
means "change the content of this window (to that buffer)" and sometimes
it means "display this buffer (in the selected window)"),

Anyway, thanks, installed into `master`.
