Yes, that's what I want, but I want the 10 most recent files that I have 
currently open, not a bunch of prompts for commands I don't use.

No, I don't want all, just the last 10 or so, as always was.
I can't understand why they've changed this.

Interesting but needs a lot more work. I found a fragment of code to put 
the cursor on the last-visited file, but the Ibuffer doesn't update 
itself when I open a new file. I have to visit it and hit g.
