Suggested 7-word addition to the |unlisted-buffer| paragraph:

unlisted        The buffer is not in the buffer list.  It is not used for
normal editing, but to show a help file, remember a file name
               or marks, keep file loaded after :hide vimgrep |grep|.

Well, those are typical uses. I use it with netrw to support "fast browsing" without
cluttering up the buffer list.  One can also "recover" an unlisted file:

 :ls!

to display them, pick an unlisted buffer number, say its 7, then

 :b 7
 :setlocal buflisted

and voila! its listed again.
