I don't understand this second sentence, example?

:-) Yeah. I agree about a lot - or make non compatible setting the
default.

I think this would be fixed by moving vimruntime to github soon .. :)

Use case? Why don't you just use aliases like b:.. and write your own
function to access buffers by alias?
Would be about 10 lines of VimL code probably ?

Please elaborate

Also add your ideas to this page, please:

Then they won't get lost ..

if !exists(g:my_buf_list)
let g:my_buf_list = {}
endif

fun SetBNr(nr)
let b:nr = a:nr
let g:my_buf_list[a:nr] = buffer_number('.')
endf

command -nargs=1 SetBufNr call SetBNr(<f-args>)

" completion missing:
command -nargs=1 GotoBuf exec '.g:my_buf_list[<f-args>]

Also see github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-other which implements <m-1>
<m-2> access for tabs or use :b some-chars-only which also works
reasonably well often.

Don't forgett about mA mB and access files by 'A 'B
