More likely compare-buffer-substrings.  It would be nicer if
compare-strings just accepted a buffer as either of its string
arguments.  Sure, one can use buffer-substring-no-properties with
compare-strings or (with-temp-buffer (insert ... with
compare-buffer-substrings, but that feels clumsy in comparison.
