Are long entries such as the one below really appropriate for
ChangeLog files? I don't think ChangeLog is a place to explain how
things work; it would have been much better to move this description
to ido.el itself, right where ido-use-virtual-buffers is defined.

* ido.el (ido-use-virtual-buffers): New variable to indicate
whether "virtual buffer" support is enabled for IDO. Essentially
it works as follows: Say you are visiting a file and the buffer
gets cleaned up by mignight.el. Later, you want to switch to that
buffer, but find it's no longer open. With virtual buffers
enabled, the buffer name stays in the buffer list (using the
ido-virtual face, and always at the end), and if you select it, it
opens the file back up again. This allows you to think less about
whether recently opened files are still open or not. Most of the
time you can quit Emacs, restart, and then switch to a file buffer
that was previously open as if it still were. NOTE: This feature
has been present in iswitchb for several years now, and I'm
porting the same logic to IDO.
