In VC, for e.g. 'C-x v ~ master@{4_months_ago} RET': any spec in (man
"gitrevisions(7)") should work.

Looks heavy: (info "(gnus) Web Searches") is better IMO, using a custom
'nnweb-type-definition'. (caveat: all these could lull us into a false

So I have C-<return> and C-M-<return> (previously C-z and C-x C-z) bound
to bury- and unbury-buffer respectively (C-j is used for RET anyway):
they double as the above. Also useful in between minibuffer editing.
