;;; buffer.el --- Working with Emacs buffers -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>

;;; 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
