Because I need to change the version currently loaded in the
editor. Someone may wish to run a source analysis tool without
saving. Secondly, I may have a "Find in all buffers." I don't
wnat to display every view when searching.

Perhaps most could be acheived through the EditorView as long
as screen updates could be suspended, and the outside manipulator
was nice about restoring the current editing position.
