I think changing C-x 4 0 to just kill the window and adding C-x 4 k to kill
buffer and window makes sense.

But I have a question for C-x 5 k.  If you have more than one window showing
different buffers in the frame, shall it kill all the buffers, or prompt for
the one to kill?  I'd assume the latter.  The prompt could be skipped if there
is just one buffer shown in that frame.
