IMO the right solution is to replace buffer-menu with the more
featureful ibuffer, which already does all those things and more.

It's a long-standing TODO item; eg
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2010-10/msg00305.html

(the length of that thread suggests it's one of those "fun" Emacs topics
with more heat than light.)
