Shouldn't it wait to do the fitting until it's prepared the buffer?
I.e., it should create the buffer first, insert all the stuff, and then
pop to it?

I think we really want to kill the buffer?  It'd be disturbing to leave
thees buffers lying around from a function call like
read-string-from-buffer.
