+;;; buffer.el --- Working with buffers -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
+
+;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>
+;; Version: 0.0.1
+;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "24.3"))
+
+;;; Commentary:
+;; Utilities for CRUDing buffers in Emacs.
+;;
+;; Many of these functions may seem unnecessary especially when you consider
+;; there implementations.  In general I believe that Elisp suffers from a
+;; library disorganization problem.  Providing simple wrapper functions that
+;; rename functions or reorder parameters is worth the effort in my opinion if
+;; it improves discoverability (via intuition) and improve composability.
+;;
+;; I support three ways for switching between what I'm calling "source code
+;; buffers":
+;; 1. Toggling previous: <SPC><SPC>
+;; 2. Using `ivy-read': <SPC>b
+;; TODO: These obscure evil KBDs.  Maybe a hydra definition would be best?
+;; 3. Cycling (forwards/backwards): C-f, C-b
