Thank you Wolfgang, this is useful.
However, it would still be helpful to be able to generically add to a
buffer without having to rename a new one. Shouldn't be very difficult
but I did not find that anything like this already exists. I often
think this way when I teach, adding steps to an example while repeating
the previous steps.
\startbuffer[a]
Line 1
\stopbuffer
\getbuffer[a]
\startaddtobuffer[a]
Line 2
\stopaddtobuffer
\getbuffer[a]
