Btw, it strikes me that if we want something like that, it should be
much easier to provide side-by-side windows that scroll together or
according to some predefined relation. This at least doesn't need to
redesign the basic display geometry of a window, only to change the
order in which we traverse the window tree -- instead of the current
depth-first order we'd need some more complicated traversal, and
perhaps also some redisplay considerations that look at more than one
window at a time. Then just removing the scroll bars from all but one
of these "lockstep" windows will get you what you want at a much
smaller effort.
