Nice idea. Another example which occurs to me is diff. It happens to me that I diff two files, check the diff, do something else then diff two other files and then I need to check something with the first diff again. In this case I rerun the diff, but I could simply go back in the diff buffer's history with this feature. As you say this buffer history could be generic feature for commands which reuse the same buffer to display daya. Such as occur, diff and there are surely other examples.
