Yes, bufwinnr()'s '-1' return value was just about the only thing that
came close. I believe the above works but it's limited to hidden vs.
active.. does not check if a buffer was modified..

I guess I was looking for something that would basically return
something a bit like a C struct, with maybe the buffer number, the file
name and then the indicators.

All the same, I read ':h :ls' and the description of the format of :ls's
output is quite precise.. so I guess I'll just rework my initial effort
and stick with that.

Thanks,

CJ
