The preamble to the source code in remember.el makes a good case for
removing the labour of storing small pieces of data: 

   ...the initial 'just remember this' impulse should be as close to
   simply throwing the data at Emacs as possible

I think that having multiple remember buffers would remove some of the
labour of remembering: renaming the buffer or saving the note and
switching to the buffer where the thing is remembered. Thus, the
ability to have multiple remember buffers seems to me to be in keeping
with the spirit of the remember facility: to make it as easy as
possible to save small pieces of information.

I'm still not seeing it. You are not throwing the data at Emacs if you are 
trying to stop in mid-air / mid-thought and start something new. I still think 
the first buffer should be resolved before the second one is started. If you 
are returning to a Remember buffer that you've already started, then I would 
call that editing.

Maybe an alternative idea is to make one binding that resolves the current 
Remember buffer and immediately opens a new one?
