I don't believe anyone looks at that list.

It doesn't make sense to ask whether an internal buffer is loaded or
not.

I don't know why you'd want to use the params.

You must understand by now that if you're hacking the core of the
dispatch mechanism, there is no room for 'heuristics'.

Yes, but you didn't adapt BufferView->dispatch() to make sure it returns
the correct value.

I don't understand what you want to say here.

No, I think I'd prefer to let BufferView decide whether it handles an
LFUN or not, but other may think differently (as they already
expressed). But I feel that's a bit overkill.
