Can you use registers today to jump to buffers that are connected to
files? I'm wondering why you're singling out non-file buffers here...
But in general, it seems to me that these keystrokes aren't that much
more efficient than just C-x b scr RET or something.

Hm... I don't quite see the utility here.
