Re: Why should shell-command-on-region call kill-buffer?

What is the reason for that kill-buffer? I see nothing in the
documentation telling that the no output case is special...
I can only assume that the idea was that an empty output buffer was
not of much use to anyone and would only get in the way of
completions, etc. That's tenuous, but it's the best I can come up
with. I don't think that kill-buffer is a recent addition.
Did it actually caus problems for you?
