Hard to have an opinion on this without some more detail of the intended uses (e.g. examples of the "many special plugins") and the way you intend to do it (e.g. how do you specify which buffer is nested into which other and more specifically *where* in that other buffer). My first reaction would be: way too hard to implement. Stefan
