Ibuffer: w and B default to buffer at current line

[Tino Calancha]

Hi,

i would like to apply following two patches.

I)
* lisp/ibuffer.el (ibuffer-get-marked-buffers):
Add an optional parameter BUFFER-AT-LINE: if non-nil and
there are no marked buffers, return the buffer at current line.
II)
Ibuffer: 'w' and 'B' default to the buffer at current line.
This is similar as dired-copy-filename-as-kill.
Before this patch, when there are no marked buffers
these commands signal an error:
"No buffers marked; use ’m’ to mark a buffer".
Append to kill ring when last command was a kill-region,
like in Dired.

Please, let me know if you have any concern about these patches.
Regards,
Tino

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ibuffer-get-marked-buffers: Default to buffer at 
current
 line

* lisp/ibuffer.el (ibuffer-get-marked-buffers):
Added optional arg BUFFER-AT-LINE: if non-nil and
there are no marked buffers, then return a list with
the buffer at current line.
(lisp/ibuffer.el): Use ibuffer-get-marked-buffers with non-nil argument.
* lisp/ibuf-ext.el (ibuffer-diff-with-file): Idem.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Ibuffer: 'w' and 'B' default to buffer at current 
line

* lisp/ibuf-ext.el (ibuffer-copy-buffername-as-kill):
If there are not marked buffers, use buffer at current line
without prompting the user.  Use ibuffer-get-marked-buffers
instead of ibuffer-map-marked-lines.
Append to kill ring when last command was a kill-region.
(ibuffer-copy-filename-as-kill): Idem.
Simplify the code.
Use ibuffer-buffer-file-name instead of buffer-file-name to
include buffers in Dired mode.
