M-x rename-uniquely is similar but automatically generates the unique buffer name. Bind it to a key to make it even quicker.

What about using DOCSTRING? It’s just a text so diff and other tools can be used, not mentioning viewing multiple of them at the same time.

1. Thanks for the hint about rename-uniquely, I forgot about it.
2. As for the second comment - you have to have something to diff first, so either temporary files (ugly) or buffers (what I did here). You could also use this.
