;;; buffer.el --- Working with Emacs buffers -*- lexical-binding: t -*-

;; Utilities for CRUDing buffers in Emacs.

;; Many of these functions may seem unnecessary especially when you consider
;; there implementations. In general I believe that Elisp suffers from a
;; library disorganization problem. Providing simple wrapper functions that
;; rename functions or reorder parameters is worth the effort in my opinion if
;; it improves discoverability (via intuition) and improve composability.
