=================

Automatically closes unchanged buffers when they become hidden.

Why?

----

I am sure that this is useful in any case where you don't like Vim letting

unmodified buffers sitting around, but the most immediate problem solved by

this plugin comes into play when you use `set hidden` and move between many

files or keep Vim open for long amounts of time.

In these cases, Vim can suffer from sluggishnes and/or other unwanted behavior

due to having many buffers hidden or from having an unnecessary buffer sitting

around for a long amount of time.

[buffersweeper.vim][bs] helps prevent this by closing any buffers which are

unmodified when they become hidden.

For instance, if I've been working on a [Django][dj] project for the last week

and I've spent quite a bit of time overviewing the way by which Django performs

certain operations - it's possible that I may have many Django files sitting

around as stray buffers. With this plugin, after I have viewed what I needed in

the plugin and closed it's window (or changed the buffer being displayed in

that window) the buffer for that file will be automatically closed because it

has not been modified.
