OK, here's the (still uncommited) "definitive" patch.

I assume when you say "a warning" you mean through `message', not `warn'.

The only controversial issue in this new patch is that I've decided to
add an optional PREDICATE argument to `find-buffer-visiting' instead of
adding a new `find-buffer-visiting-1' function as in the previous one.
As `find-buffer-visiting' is not a command but a function to be called
from lisp programs, it seems better to me.  Calls to
`find-buffer-visiting' with no PREDICATE do now a funcall to the
`identity' built-in, but that shouldn't be that expensive.

Comments?
