Is it possible to compose a buffer using different queries? #180

I have just discovered this tool. It is very helpful for me, because it can do a kind of "interactive Sparse Tree" thanks to the multiline behavior.

Just a question: Is it possible to compose a buffer using lines from different helm-swoop queries?

For example: you do "M-4 M-x helm-swoop" and get some parts of "A" buffer. You repeat "M-4 M-x helm-swoop" with a different query and you get some other parts of the same "A" buffer. Is it possible to combine those results, so you get a composed buffer that you can edit?

**EDITED: I think I've found how to do that: Selecting different results using C-SPC.

Good, you can also use a regexp query.
