I wonder, is there also an easier way to a similar workflow when using
plain buffers? (No windowy stuff) Yes, ^ is marvellous for alternating
between one program file and another with e.g. function definitions, but
when we also need to flick over to a header or library file, it's back to
:bu second_last_file_accessed. (OK, autocompletion of partial filenames is
_brilliant_, but is there more? :)

We have ^O and ^I to eventually work our way between recent files, via
many intervening moves within each file. Are there perhaps variants of
^O and ^I which move back and forth by file, skipping intra-file dances?
Maybe it's wishful thinking, but it would be awfully convenient.
