There are some modes that expect buffers to have specific content
(e.g. think dired-mode or gnus-summary-mode etc.) and it may be that
*some* may inadvertently throw away anything that doesn't fit their
world view... These are modes that will typically be invoked by another
command, not by the user directly. As I said, it was a throwaway
comment I saw on the Emacs developer list.
