Maybe I'm missing something (You seem more Vim-savvy than I am, so I'm
surprised I would know), but here goes...

In the examples below, replace '...' with bufnr("%") to get the value
for the current buffer, or just pass in the bufnr you have.

bufnr("#")

bufloaded(...) && bufwinnr(...) != -1

bufloaded(...) && bufwinnr(...) == -1

The rest have me stumped for the 'for a bufnr I specify' part. And
someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but they don't seem to be
'localizable' (i.e. '&' works fine, rather than '&l:').

...I have no idea on this one... 'read errors'?
