Switching to the said buffer makes it unhidden, which is less than
useful. :)

This was the first thing I tried, but it doesn't work reliably. If
&hidden is set and the current window is :quit, the corresponding buffer
becomes hidden, but &bufhidden is undefined. Both buflisted() and
bufloaded() return true, but there is no bufhidden() function. So, is
there a way to detect this situation?
