I have a question I hope someone can help me with.
How can I update a buffer's point IF/WHEN the buffer is NOT
in a window?

The only solution I currently know of to modify a buffers point is
by using the command "set-window-point", and of course that requires
the buffer to be in a window.

P.S.  I know of ways to get around the problem, so I don't want
      suggestions which achieve the result by putting the buffer into
      a window, and then updating the point. :^)  But thanks anyway.
