I think it is best keeping it separate so you can find the other
buffer any way you want to.

I doubt it is a good thing to make it too specialized. Maybe restoing
window configuration could be an option?

Because I do not have time for it then. Keeping it all in one bundle
is more simple.

I would like a package manager that could keep track of
interdependencies instead, but sofar no one else have been interested
really. I suggested a solution with web download of elisp files as you
need them which I think is what is needed. (It is implemented as part
of nXhtml too ;-) ... )
