Hi:
I get a lot of these byte-compile warnings in my Elisp code:
hbut.el:683:26:Warning: Use ‘with-current-buffer’ rather than
save-excursion+set-buffer
but since with-current-buffer does not save the value of point, it is
not a valid substitute for save-excursion and should not be suggested.
Evaluate the two samples below and you will see that they are not
equivalent. If I am correct, I'd like this suggestion disabled. Thanks. -- rsw
(save-excursion
(set-buffer (current-buffer))
(forward-char 20))
(with-current-buffer (current-buffer)
(forward-char 20))
