Can we document the tab/buffer thing?

[githorse]

Problem description

These look a lot like tabs. But -- surprise! -- they are buffers. As a Vim veteran, I don't even know what's going on here ... ok, looks like it's the bufferline plugin, which I hadn't previously heard of. But whether veteran or newbie, I would expect the tab navigation commands (gt, gT) to work on these, but they don't seem to do anything.

I won't open up here the debate/confusion about Vim buffers vs. tabs, or whether bufferline is a good idea or not. (I'll be turning it off, myself.) But having read through all the docs, I don't see anything about this. Could we add some documentation to make it clear what's going on here, and how I should switch tabs/buffers? (And maybe add some default keyboard shortcuts for it?)

I was surprised by this too. In the end use BufferLine* commands and then whatever they are, (they can be tabs or be m buffers as it is configurable) won't matter.
