Cool, I'll redo it and submit a patch in the next few days. The plan
is:

  - Multi-buffer support (ie buffer-local vars) goes in
    unconditionally, since I think there is no way to undo making
    variable buffer local, and if there is, it would make toggling on/off
    function really complicated.

    About the markers, what about if I call to clean them up
    kill-buffer-hook? This will work even if user kills the buffer
    manually, not just on q key.

  - The "use existing buffer, and bury on quit" toggle needs a new
    name org-agenda-reuse-buffers? Wanderlust has a similar mechanism
    and its called "sticky summary buffers", so maybe
    org-agenda-buffer-sticky?

  - The C-u r that you suggested to kill all buffers is already taken
    by "reload with a
    search string", so I think for cleanup bindings could be:

    q          -> kill buffer or bury if enabled
    Q          -> always kill
    C-u Q      -> kill all agenda buffers (ie cleanup)

    Now that I'm thinking it also needs to keep track of all agenda
    buffers, so need a global list. The kill-buffer hook should work
    there too.
