I run both the bufexplorer and vim-surround plugins, so I've had
to work around the problem you describe. My current solution
for the ``ds`` mapping is:

augroup local_bufExplorer
autocmd!
autocmd BufEnter \[BufExplorer\] unmap ds
autocmd BufLeave \[BufExplorer\] nmap ds <Plug>Dsurround
augroup END

After thinking about this for a while, your idea seems to cover
the problem cases for me. It's hard to pick a good name for the
option, but I think the functionality fixes this problem.
