To return to a previous window configuration without having to restore
it explicitly.  Consider simultaneous editing of two portions of the
same buffer after C-x 2.  If one of the windows is temporarily used for
showing things like help, info or completions, quitting that window
should implicitly restore previous buffer and location.

The thread on Bug#20861 contains an explanation why your buffer "c" (one
that was never shown before in the window you created via C-x 4 b) is
unveiled there by ‘bury-buffer’.  Maybe Jürgen's solution could be
improved by switching to an already visible buffer (like "c") only after
all other possibilities have been exhausted.  Patches welcome ;-)
