-        * textmodes/flyspell.el (flyspell-check-pre-word-p): Return nil if
-        command changed buffer (ie. `flyspell-pre-buffer' is not current
-        buffer), which prevents making decisions based on invalid value of
-        `flyspell-pre-point' in the wrong buffer.  Most notably, this used to
-        cause an error when `flyspell-pre-point' was nil after switching
-        buffers
-        (flyspell-post-command-hook): No longer needs to change buffers when
-        checking pre-word.  While at it remove unnecessary progn.
