Exactly.

I mean after relaoding a file (i.e. loading the version from disk into
the buffer) the changes of the file on disk are now updated in the buffer.

If a file changed on disc, I sometimes want to load it with

   erase_buffer(whatbuf());
   () = insert_file(file);

so that I can revert the "reload" (or "update to disk") version with
undo and also keep buffer-local variables.

.. or a "reload_buffer" function that does this and resets the
changed-on-disk flag.
