It's best to separate the concerns when analyzing the problem you ran into:
consider both (a) the command behavior and (b) the key bindings. Whatever
the
binding, is `find-alternate-file' dangerous? If so, then let's fix its
behavior.
It is somewhat dangerous _because_ it has a key binding.
We could try to fix its behavior, but maybe eliminating the
binding is easier.
Fully half the reason I use `find-alternate-file' is to _kill_ the current
buffer (mistaken file visit or not). I use `C-x C-f' when I want to keep the
current buffer, and `C-x C-v' when I want to kill it. I wouldn't have
thought I
was alone in that, but I'm beginning to get the impression that I might be.
Of course, getting rid of the current buffer is why one uses it. The
question is whether it is sufficienty easier than C-x C-k RET and M-p
to justify giving it a key binding.
