so your draft is that:
hide - just hides
close - hides && closes if in only 1 window

right?

i like more 'buffer gets closed in the other view too' but i'm not mad
about it. from curiosity i just switched to openoffice to look what closing
with multiple windows do and they also close document in both windows
so i suppose its not so unintuitive for the rest of world.

i still think you can hold your approach here if only we change menu entry name.
