uniquify

[Sean Sieger]

Huh.  I guess I would have thought that whether a buffer is a Dired one
or file one, uniquify would follow the rule that I have configured in
.emacs:  (setq uniquify-buffer-name-style 'forward).

I had inadvertantly visited a Dired buffer of the same name as the file
that I was on my way to visit, then visited the file, whose buffer name
had appended to it, `<2>'.

To sooth myself, I then visited two files of the same name in different
directories and the buffer names had the expected directory-difference
prepended to them.

Uh, my question is, does anyone else perceive this as a little clunky?
I could never perceive the <2>, <3> -thing as clarifying and was pleased
to get rid of it---or so I thought---with uniquify ... thanks.
