RFE: I propose a :noswapfile (or something) prefix, working in similar
fashion to the :verbose, :vertical, :top, :tab, etc. prefixes in front
of another ex-command, and with the meaning: If that _subordinate_
ex-command opens a new buffer, we want 'noswapfile' set on that buffer.
(If it doesn't, nothing happens, as with e.g. :vert :top or :tab when
the subordinate command opens no new window.) Or maybe :0swapfile and
:1swapfile prefixes.
Rationale: Currently, “:setlocal noswapfile” prior to opening a new
buffer would close the swapfile on the current buffer, not the new one;
while doing it afterwards opens and closes a swapfile for the new
buffer, which is less harmful but still not ideal.
In particular, I notice that “directory” windows handled by netrw have
swapfiles set on them: IMHO this is wasteful (and after a few crashes
you may find yourself with a string of .swp, .swo, .swn, .swm, etc., for
something which cannot ever need a recovery).
Best regards,
Tony.

But I was there and I saw what you did,
I saw it with my own two eyes.
So you can wipe off that grin;
I know where you've been--
It's all been a pack of lies!
