I missed that. Thanks.
I think that the manual as it is now(1) it creates different
expectations. Not that we have two commands doing the same. I send a
report to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org with M-x report-emacs-bug . I think it
was sent. (fingers crossed)
Can 'M-x clone-indirect-buffer' be given NEWNAME and DISPLAY-FLAG
arguments ?
