        I see no reason to abuse quit-window for what’s essentially
        switching to a buffer to edit one.  That is: the
        eww-restore-history call right after quit-window edits the
        /current/ buffer.  Thus, it indeed makes sense to explicitly use
        set-buffer before that.  (Or to wrap the call in
        with-current-buffer, anyway.)

        Moreover, vc.el already uses a dedicated buffer-local variable
        for a similar purpose, and so does rcirc.el, and perhaps a few
        more modes out there.
