+       * net/eww.el (eww): New behavior.  Pops to an existing buffer,
+       otherwise creates a new one.  The buffer name is controlled by
+       numeric prefix.  A non-numeric prefix always prompts for a URL.
+       (eww-goto-url): New function.  Assumes the previous role of `eww',
+       now accepting an optional `buffer' argument
+       (eww-read-string): New function.  Wrapper for `read-string'
+       used by `eww' and `eww-goto-url'.
+       (eww-setup-buffer): Accept `buffer' argument.
+       (eww-mode-map): Replace existing bindings for M-n and M-p with
+       a binding of M-n to `clone-buffer'.
