That sounds interesting.

Yes, one does have to get used to that, but it can be very handy
sometimes. I can't see where dynamic scope is involved in your
function, though.

It closes any buffers visiting planner files that were not open before
the body was evaluated, if you see what I mean.  This stops Emacs
getting cluttered with planner pages.
