It's relevant in the fact that some of those applications may come with
a toolbar while others don't, so a single application that provides
access too all those facilities (like Emacs) may want to sometimes show
a toolbar and sometimes not.

I'm suggesting to *add* "in-buffer" toolbars (hopefully as a pure-ELisp
feature).
