Something like this would be very convenient.

In my case, often I have to work on some feature that touches certain
areas of several source files and, at the same time, create and edit
several test cases, each on one file. Having everything on the same
buffer will save lots of buffer switching, while at the same time
providing a compact "work area" that eases reading and editing.
