[request]: multi modular plugins. [bug]: BarbarDisable

[juanMarinero]

bufferline.nvim explains in Why this and not Vim tabs? the not Vim default approach to buffers and tabs. I guess barbar uses same approach.

Closing buffers might not be desired:

• #196: closing the buffer also makes me loose some history in gundo
• Error closing buffers #644
• Closing a tab #613
• ...

Maybe this was discussed in v2.0.0 Tracking Issue #394 or among private chats (btw. dear reader, collab is needed: #227).

I do like the Vim way actually, I like hidden buffers not occupying any tab but hanging in their [hidden] bufferlist, so I can reopen any time just checking the bufflist. Thus I don't think this plugin is for me. But some features are really awesome, like BufferPick and the git/diagnostic symbols in each tap. So, I wonder:

• [ ] Any plans to make this plugin modular? I mean, I guess some features like those two above do not require to discard hidden buffers (aka work with tabs as buffers), a nvim user could just load the desired modules.
• [ ] How to toggle this plugin? I tried GIF steps below to just take advantage of the BufferPick but BarbarDisable overwrites the tab where I was before the jump.

Initially, with plugin disabled, or after run BarbarEnable-BufferPick

:buffers                                         
  1 %a   "model/model01.rb"              
  2  a   "model/model01.java"              
  3  a   "model/model01.log"
  4  a   "model/model01.csv"

but after BarbarDisable

:buffers   
  1 #h   "model/model01.rb"
  2  a   "model/model01.java"
  3  a   "model/model01.log"
  4 %a   "model/model01.csv"

If above works maybe I can code alike next to just take advantage of BufferPick when needed. Of course if another plugin achieves just this (easy jumping to tabs), without conflicting with the Vim's way to treat buffers, then I would love to hear from them please.
