I'm a little unclear on how separate views are supposed to work. So, maybe a silly question, but: When we call this, do we really want to close ALL open buffers? Can there be more than one GuiView at a time? You see the worry.
Ah yes, you're right... I'm being too enthusiastic.
Now, I think about it. It was Pavel who thought it was strange that the hidden buffers were still loaded, while he was talking about multiple views.

So, when we close a view, we shouldn't release all buffers, but when we choose File->Close All, then we should ? But this feels contra-intuitive either. On the other hand, if we close a buffer in one view it gets closed in the other, so why not if you choose Close all..

Do you have an opinion ?

No, I'm not really sure here. I guess Close All should really mean Close All. The concept of hidden buffers does confuse things here, that's for sure, but they are both useful and essential. The thing that's missing and that might be nice to have, would be something like "Close this document group", where a document group is a master and all its children.
