I tend to push with-current-buffer rather than save-current-buffer.
The idea is that for most coding purposes, you only need save-excursion
to save point&mark and with-current-buffer to move to a another buffer
(and set-buffer is basically never needed).

I actually do C-s (set-buffer fairly often, as part of random code cleanup.
