I am, my eyes just slipped over it being mentioned in the docstring, as
they were searching for the word “buffer”. Even knowing what the point
is, it still ask a deduction to go from seeing the word “point” to
acknowledging the thing is about a buffer, while other things
(current-buffer, file, etc.) has been mentioned as destinations.
