Well, there is the fact that it in not guaranteed that it will not
mess with the buffer ordering (because it calls set-frame-select-window
which might call select-window without the `norecord' argument), contrary
to what the docstring says.

Also it seems wrong that it will save&restore everything under the sun when
we know full well that it should only need to pay attention to the current
window and the one temporarily selected.
