+~   In logical terms, this modifies an input buffer metadata structure
+~ in-place to push a new, zeroed one into the start of the linked list formed
+~ through the next-source field.
+~
+~   In physical terms, it works by allocating a new structure, copying the
+~ fields of the existing one into it, and zeroing the existing one. That's
+~ necessary because otherwise we'd need a mutable handle (a pointer to a
+~ pointer) to update the start of the list, and there's no way to do that with
+~ the main-input-buffer variable working the way it presently does.

+~   This does the inverse of push-input-buffer. In the event that the
+~ next-source field is null, it zeroes the buffer.
+~
+~   Note, however, that it doesn't deallocate the memory, because that's not
+~ how memory allocation on the log works. If necessary, it can be deallocated
+~ with "forget", though as usual that requires careful planning.
