My thinking is changing about the first point above.  Now I am thinking
maybe the behavior should be made configurable, but the default not
changed.  What we would do is introduce a pair of user variables, one for
buffers without an opener, and one for buffers with, that give the
position at which to create them.  The allowed values would be: 'left',
'right', 'end', or an integer.

The values 'left' and 'right' would mean immediately before or after the
opener or current buffer.  The value 'end' would mean at the end of the
list.  An integer value would give an explicit index, 0 indicating the
front of the list.

The second point above seems uncontroversial, and has even been requested
by several people, so that could be made default.

What to do about bury-buffer is something I want to think more about.
It's a logical extension of a temporally-organized UI, but not so much of
a spacially-organized one.
