Hi Tino,

I don't like this part of your proposed change. The name of the function is
`ibuffer-get-marked-buffers'. Adding a new argument to change the meaning of
the function is not a good idea.

Instead, there should be a new function `ibuffer-get-buffer-at-point' or some
such, to reflect the meaning you wish to express. There may even already be
such a function, I'm not all that familiar with ibuffer.el.

This part sounds reasonable to me. I like the idea of defaulting behavior when
there is no current selection or region.
