description
Sometimes I use Ctrl-] a few times to read some code, perhaps navigating up
and down in the files I visit.  Then I want to get back to where I was
before, but Ctrl-O may require a lot of hits.

Here we introduce an alternative, that goes back to the previous file, not
the previous position.  The default mapping is on C-U.

If you would rather go back to the last piece of code you were editing, see
last_edit_marker.vim

BUG TODO: If there is no previous buffer, will loop forever!  We could check
to see if we don't move at all, then abort.

Edit the mapping in the script if you do not want it to overwrite C-U.
