It would be strange if Bongo used metadata when that variable is nil,
even when it's only through user functions. And I think a user might
want to be able to turn off the user code with this variable.

It needs to be more customizable than this, in my opinion. At least
the buffer-changing feature should be customizable.

That's OK.

Nah, let's leave it for now. =)

True. I just thought it was cool, that's all. I will maybe use it
somehow later, and then I'll tell you about it.
