Working on it !

I will be releasing this along with other changes, and I need to rework this code a little bit. There is firstly some refactor that I already got done locally, but playing around with it made me realise that I am not satisfied with how the prefix argument is used at the moment.

Right now, with no prefix argument the buffer is sent to the target window without follow focus, and with prefix arg the buffers are swapped instead (and I don't even remember if focus follows in that case or not). Not very consistent or mnemonic.

I want to make it more predictable / easier to grasp / consistent, and I think the way to do it would be that the prefix argument only decides if focus follows or not and completely separate buffer sending and swapping commands.

So this is taking time because I have to find the time to implement and experiment with the idea, as I don't want to release an API and then have to break it later.

Patience ! And thank you for your contribution !
