It's not a dirty buffer any more.
Go look. We've long since cleared the dirty bit.
So stop spouting garbage.
My argument is simple: the contents ARE NOT CORRECT ENOUGH to be
called "up-to-date and clean".
And I outlined the two choices:
- mark it dirty and continue trying to write it out forever
- invalidate it.
Anything else is crazy talk. And marking it dirty forever isn't really
an option. So..
