Re: eww

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

Currently eww uses a single buffer, and whenever you ask it to display a
new URL, it discards everything in the buffer.  This means that when you
want to return to the previous page, eww has to re-fetch and re-render
the page.  And you lose the data in <form>s you have filled out.

Would it make more sense for eww to use new buffers every time?  eww
would have a backlog of, say, ten buffers, and going back to the
previous page would just mean popping to the previous buffer.  And it
could use `bury-buffer' and rename the previous buffer to a name with
something leading with " " when you go to a new page.

Opinions?
