Switching buffer by index

[chunkhang]

I just migrated from vim-buftabline. One thing I miss is switching buffers by their ordinal numbers. It will be great if vim-buffet can do something similar by providing the option to display index number before the buffer name, and exposing a function to switch to buffer with index X.

Sure @bagrat. I'll be more than happy to work on a PR.

Perfect! A good starting point would be to add the buffer index to the rendered result here. For switching by buffer index, you might want to come up with a new function, command and maybe even mapping.
