I'm sure that all these callers used kill-this-buffer because there was no
kill-current-buffer to simply kill the current buffer, and nothing more.
So I think we need to leave kill-this-buffer callers only in menu-bar/tool-bar,
and use kill-current-buffer everywhere else, leaving just
‘(kill-buffer (current-buffer))’ in the definition of
kill-current-buffer in simple.el.
