Just out of curiosity, in what sense is that "fixing a
grammar error"?
As a limiting adverb, "only" must be placed next to the thing it
limits.
For example, in the last sentence you quote, "only" does not
limit what
the function does with the buffers (handle them) but rather
limits what
is handled (file-visiting buffers).
