No!  :-)

Thank you muchly for the tip!

I use a macro called c-save-buffer-state, which was modelled on
font-lock's original save-buffer-state some years ago.  At some stage,
presumably s-b-s got modified but c-s-b-s didn't.  Time to fix it!

I can't understand why save-buffer-state has never become a standard
Emacs macro.  If you're doing _anything_ with text properties, you can't
do without it.  (OK, Eli, there's one or two exceptions, I know! ;-)
