Well, its not usual for me to test elisp against a mail buffer, but
you're right, the usage pattern is obvioulsy very subjective.

That depends, I supose, on the way you usually work. I like to minimize
buffer switching and number of windows. Yesterday I was trying (once
again) to develop a jit-lock based lazy line-numbering module, and I
tested changes against the source file in order not to have to switch
back and forth between buffers. Line-numbering is usually non-destructive
wrt the target buffer :)

Perhaps I do that kind of thing often. Before that I developed a
derivative of elisp-mode intended to edit my own .emacs file :)

Ok, I think that's a good idea, but it requires more code, because
ELISP> (setq mode-name '("IELM on " (:eval (buffer-name ielm-working-buffer))))
*** Eval error *** error: "Only strings should be stored in the buffer-local
variable mode-name"
