Is this question directed to Tassilo (about G) or to me ?
If it's to me: it is not critical to have a letter (I'd like both upcase
and downcase BTW) for it. It just seems that it could be generally
useful. In the core of XEmacs I can see several functions that could use
it: append|prepend|copy-to-buffer, clone-indirect-buffer[-other-window]
and view-buffer[-other-window].
But now that I think about it, I'm starting to realize that every
interactive call using b and providing the current buffer as the default
one could avoid completing to the current buffer altogether because you
just need to type RETURN to get it. So maybe I should modify the b
specification instead...
