Hi all.

I am building a plan to implement *Nested buffer* in Emacs recently. Is it
a good ideal?

Nested buffer what I mean here is the sub-buffers which embedded in a host
buffer.

   - Nested/Embed buffer's content is linked to an arbitrary buffer.
   - Host buffer's content consists of the content of all the nested
   buffers.

If having this, we could embed multiple buffers' content into a host buffer
to get one virtual buffer. And, after updating the nested buffer's content,
the virtual host buffer's content is updated too. I think it will be
helpful for many special plugins.

Appreciated any comments or suggestion.
