> If Emacs *deduces* file-visitedness based on the name of the buffer Let me elaborate on what I mean by "deduction". I think there is a rule (unwritten but understood?) on how non-file-visiting buffers are named. I think these rules can be entered in law books are recognized as a precedent that cannot be breached. In the new scheme, A buffer created with the name "testing" will be deemed as potentially-file-visiting, while one created with name "*testing*" will be treated as non-file-visiting. One has to just settle on the pattern of names that make a buffer non-file-visiting. Anything that doesn't match this pattern will be potentitally-file-visiting.
