Thanks for the answers guys. So the buffer 691 makes sense now, since I
was editing a file that was 691 lines at the time I executed:
:$b
So out of this:
:b#
- Works as I wanted, go to the alternate.
:b$
E93: More than one match for $
So in this case, it would be nice to go to the last buffer, essentially
special casing the {bufname} partial match when it is just the $.
