I still think it's a bug, because the behavior is inconsistent (buffer-local
settings like 'filetype' and 'syntax' are kept when the buffer is unloaded, but
the syntax highlighting isn't) and unexpected (when I manually make a setting,
*all* its effects should be kept after :bnext|bprev).
I couldn't find an explanation or description of how it should work in the
help,
so maybe Bram has to chime in with his opinion?!
Anyway, I found another workaround (that could be placed in .vimrc if you're
annoyed by the current behavior), which I hope has fewer side effects than
':set
hidden':
autocmd! BufRead * if exists('syntax_on') || exists('syntax_manual') | syntax
enable | endif
