We cannot really know how many people are using `buffer-string' in
their code. Fortunately, it is possible to make the function backward
compatible, but I, for one, will not bother sending out the patch; I'm
way too disgusted.
As strange as it may sound, XEmacs has a user-base of its own, and
IMHO we cannot afford to change documented interfaces on Stallman's
whims, at least not in areas where XEmacs implemented stuff before FSF
Emacs.
