I added something similar in adbbe21.

For % and #, you're right, they are not implemented yet. They would
require a special handling of file-arguments that has to be done.

In order to prevent us forgetting this it may be a good idea to file
an issue at http://bitbucket.org/lyro/evil

Btw, I do not really know if there is a better way to mimic # as Emacs
and Vim's organisation of buffers is different (afaik there are no
buffer-numbers in Emacs, just a list of them that may be reordered).
Probably it's not worth the effort to mimic Vim's behaviour.
