Maybe a good transition path is to add an explicit (opt-in) parent
buffer mechanism when creating a buffer, and adding a hook when a buffer
is created *without* explicitly setting the parent (or explicitly
setting it to null) so the user can plug their own heuristics in until
legacy modules catch up.
