It's commun one Emacs session having dozens of buffers
on memory. On such situation, it is hard to remember
the name of one particular buffer.
It may be useful having easy way to search buffers
by content.
For example, one user is developping a funtion foo
in the buffer BUF, with name BUF-NAME:
foo-type foo (bar)
The user may not remember BUF-NAME, but s/he could be able
to write a regexp matching just the content of BUF.
For instance, something like
"foo (bar)"
likely would match just BUF content (or a few buffers more).
Following patch implements such behaviour adding a new command
`ibuffer-mark-by-content-regexp' inside ibuffer package.
This command marks on Ibuffer all buffers whose content
matches a regexp.
The new command is bound to:
I) '% c', in analogy with `ibuffer-filter-by-content';
II) '% g', in analogy with `dired-mark-files-containing-regexp'.
