That made it better indeed, and without seeing it I cannot say whether
indenting the matches will make it even better, or not.

Maybe buffers isn't the best example, a better one could be friends,
or colleagues. Say I want to send a chat message to my friend. Using
`anything' I type in his name and get a match, then I get to choose
whether I want to start to chat with him or send him an e-mail.
Of course, I could always define two sources, one for chat and one for
e-mail... Anyway, maybe that can give you an idea. BTW, I am trying
out `anything' as a replacement for iswitchb right now :)
