* Cycle through buffers of the same mode?..

I've started using the following bit of elisp recently, and I like it:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ShellMode#toc3

When I have several shell buffers open, this allows me to cycle
through those buffers with a keybinding (e.g. f7).  I'd like to
generalize this behavior as follows: if I am in a buffer with major
mode X, pressing a key will cycle me through all open buffers in major
mode X.  That way I could easily cycle through all my open org
buffers, dired buffers, etc.  Before I go off writing more elisp,
however, I wanted to check whether someone might have written
something like this already :)  So if you have any helpful code
snippets, feel free to post them here.

Buffer-stack does buffer-stacking where the most recently used buffer
bubbles to the top of the stack (think Alt-Tab on Windows).  It's quite
flexible and offers hooks for however you want to filter buffers.  I've
written a same major-mode filter -- buffer-stack-suppl.el

All the files and information you'll need are here:

In Icicles, `C-0 C-x b' does that: Only buffers in the same mode are candidates.
You can then cycle among the candidates that match your input in the minibuffer
(e.g., hit `down' to cycle).

This is true for all Icicles commands that read a buffer name (`C-x k' etc.): a
zero prefix arg limits the candidates to buffers in the same mode.  A positive
arg limits them to buffers visiting files.  A negative arg limits them to
buffers associated with the selected frame.

You can instead filter the candidates on the fly to buffers in a given mode, by
using `C-x M' during completion.  (You are prompted for the mode, then
buffer-name completion continues.)

http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Icicles_-_Buffer-Name_Input

You can also filter completion candidates (any kind, not just buffer names) in
several different ways at the same time (e.g. buffers visiting files whose size
is > 10K), by using `M-&' during completion.  That prompts you for a predicate
to filter the current matches.  Use `M-&' as many times as you like, to combine
filters.
