Instead of having one default display width for the Buffer column,
support having a default range (or small set) of widths to pick from.
When the need to truncate (with the current default width) is first
determined, change the current default width to a larger one (in the
default range or from the default set of widths) which is capable of
displaying the full file name. Then simply re-call the logic to
re-generate the display with the new current default width.
Something like this might work. It could try various means of omitting
part of the names -- from the end, from the middle, whatever -- and pick
the first one that makes them all unique.
I don't think this is a must-fix, but if someone wants to work on it,
we could install it. Probably after the release.
