Here's another idea: Have `bury-buffer', as I suggested, do nothing wrt display,
but add a hook for it, so users like Stefan can make it also do <whatever> after
just changing the buffer order.  In particular, the <whatever> could play with
the display (iconify or delete frame etc.)

Without doing anything in the hook, a dedicated window/frame/buffer would just
stay there.
