":split" (with no argument) doesn't clone the buffer, it creates an
additional window onto the same buffer. However, loading something else
into that window does not |abandon| the buffer, since there is another
window on that same buffer.
See an alternative approach (which doesn't leave the current buffer) in
my post of a few minutes ago.
Best regards,
Tony.
