Emacs 27.1 added switch-to-prev-buffer-skip, but didn't include a simple
regexp form, and I agree that such a simple form is usually what people
want.  (I know you can achieve some of this stuff by making windows
dedicated, too, but that's another complication.)

I see the charm, but for complex setups like that, I think using
dedicated windows would be the thing.

So I've now added switch-to-prev-buffer-skip-regexp to Emacs 29.
