Possibly Peter used it because I used it. I used it because the example I followed in The Manual used a buffer. As it happens his example works better. My "example1.tex" is knuth.tex with two minor modifications. His version with the buffer reduces the size of the Knuth text to fit the frame. Your version wraps the text instead on each line. For my purposes the facsimile representation is better.
My solution reduces the available space for the text but when you load the buffer with \externalfigure context scales the content to the given width. You can get the same effect with the \scale command, another way is to change the font size for the verbatim block with \typefile[bodyfont=small]{<filename>} or \typefile[bodyfont=8pt]{<filename>}.
