Maybe you could just show the N most recent buffers that fit in the
tabBar. To switch to a less recent buffer you could still use C-c b.

As an added bonus, we could sort the tabBar by recent usage. This way,
having many open files is not so expensive anymore. And frequently
toggling between two files becomes a very cheap operation.
