This could be as simple as having a variable ess-dribble-buffer
which if nil, means that the buffer is not created, otherwise, the
variable contains (as a string) the name of the buffer to use, which
defaults to "*ESS*".  It could even be " *ESS*" so that it doesn't
appear in buffer lists, but is there and will be included into reports
generated by ess-submit-bug-report.
