I don't think I follow.  Why not leave alone that additional PREDICATE
argument of list-buffers-noselect, and add a feature where the
BUFFER-LIST argument could be a function?  That's be a compatible
change.  Just keep the PREDICATE argument and the code which supports
it, and document that if PREDICATE is a function, BUFFER-LIST cannot
be a function.
