	There are times when I have thought it would be very useful
	to be able to treat a collection of emacs buffers as a single
	buffer.  This way you could do replacements, searches, execute
	macros, preform spelling corrections, execute elisp code, etc.
	over several buffers in a single operation.

	Any ideas how this could be accomplished?  Could this be done
	in emacs v19, or is there something I am overlooking here that
	makes this a bad idea?
