Deleting buffer without losing the split window

Hi all, I'm just curious how do you guys handle this case? I often have screen split with a couple of buffers and when I delete one of them, split got messed up. Vim have one cool trick for this: ':bp|bd #' and evil will only execute ':bp' part. Is it hard to add similar feature (this looks to me like piping the commands) or Emacs has something better under the belt? Regards, Sanel
