    Would it be that hard? Just change the base buffer's file as if it was
    a buffer without any indirect ones and for the indirect buffers, keep
    track of what mode they were in (would saving more information be
    useful?) and read the data from the new base buffer into them.

Adjusting the indirect buffers correctly would be quite hard, I think.

    On the other hand, what if I do want to find an alternative file in
    the indirect buffer I am currently in? Maybe I am done with this
    indirect buffer and don't need it anymore.

Maybe it is correct for C-x C-v in an indirect buffer to replace
only that indirect buffer.
