I was having trouble with slow `<C-p>` completion, and figured out it
was due to the fact that I had about 300 buffers open.
Many of these buffers weren't being actively used, and were just loaded
in from Vim sessions past. When I removed the unloaded buffers,
completion sped up like a whistle.
Thanks to 'sidyll' (https://stackoverflow.com/users/557306/sidyll) on
Stack Overflow for explaining how to get "all" buffer numbers (or at
least all possible buffer numbers up to the highest one open), as well
as the filtering logic:

I leveraged the above to get the buffer numbers of all unloaded buffers,
then delete the buffers by number.
It was originally a temporary command-mode line, but I decided it could
be beneficial to save the code just in case I need it again.
