OK, now I understand its purpose.

However, I still have objections to its documentation string:

        Default action for events in the splash screen buffer.

As it shows in `C-h a' results, event a novice should get an idea
about its purpose, and/or get understandable diagnostics when he tries
to use it.

What about e.g.

        Internal function needed for switching off the splash buffer.
