Not yet, but now I have, and I see that my meaning of "cleanup" is
different from what this command suggests.  I prefer to manage that
manually, so go and kill "all java files" or "all remote files accessed
via ssh" or something like that - with the ability to "post-process" the
selected set manually before killing - that's why I wrote those
commands.  I could provide them as a package, of course if someone else
finds them useful - I'm not sure now whether that is true.

I see there's also "bs" package (not the best name, by the way..), but I
didn't find many differences between standard buffer-menu and this
package, except maybe for sorting commands and more buffer set
configurations in contrast to buffer-menu's "all" or "only files".

Another thing that could be interesting is "show only remote files" and
"kill all remote files".

It would be interesting to know what others use for buffer management.
