That section fails to suggest good replacements for this term,
AFAICT.  Which makes that part of the article less useful than it
could be, perhaps.

And, of course, we frequently say stuff like "file's contents" or
"buffer contents", which is perfectly OK, IMO.  This usage is not
mentioned in that article, so someone, especially non-native speakers,
could think such uses are part of the problem -- perhaps another minor
issue that should be mentioned there, but isn't.
