Thanks John for promoting the case for iswitchb! But I think its easy
enough to enable for now, so I don't have a strong preference for it
to become default.

Just in case people don't know, both these issues can be addressed:
iswitchb-buffer-ignore's value is ("^ ") and so you can switch off the
mechanism that removes buffers beginning with space.
For the cvs example, if you do "*cvs* C-j" rather than RET, you will
get *cvs* if it exists; if it does not you will be asked whether you
want to create that buffer.
Best wishes,
Stephen (iswitchb author)
