I think we don't need to use file->pos for that as that is required
only for the current buffer, otherwise, such a condition should
suffice the need. However, I was not happy with the way code and
conditions were arranged in BufFileTruncateShared, so I have
re-arranged them and change quite a few comments in that API. Apart
from that I have updated the docs and ran pgindent for the first
patch. Do let me know if you have any more comments on the first
patch?
