When you have a window split, issuing a :bd command

I like to have my maximized window split vertically in

command to close any of the panes.
Can it be done?
You can't make :bd a total no-op. But. You can try the
following trick to make the deteled buffer *re-appear*.
Buffer will flick but won't go away if you work out all
details of this. Here is the idea:
1. hook the BufDelete autoevent.
2. for your "undeletable" buffer(s), set some b:
variable, say b:undeletable to true. (you probably
won't want to make all buffers undeletable, only some).
3. In BufDelete event, check b:undeletable
flag. If the flag is on, then
4. create new buffer with same size, position,
contents, setting, and proper cursor position.
I didn't try it, but i think it can be made to work.
You'll need to resolve many small details along
the way, like how to restore position, contents,
cursor, and settings of the deleted/restore buffer.
Note than undo history of the restores buffer
will be inevitably lost.
