What about adding a 'nostat' type to the 'buftype' option and saying in the
documentation that 'nofile' is now deprecated because the 'edit' command on a
'nofile' buffer empties its content when editing the same buffer but does not
change its content when editing a different buffer than the current one.
There would be only a change in bt_nofile(), in bt_dontwrite() and two other
places, to make 'nostat' behave like 'nofile'. And the change made in 7.4.592
would only be done for 'nostat'.
I can work on a patch if this seems reasonable.
