Like most window managers Emacs should allow the user to create
persistent window configurations, specify window placement, group windows
to window layouts, easily change, save and restore window groups with
window parameters like dedicatedness.

There are already a few packages that partially implement this like
winner.el (restores old window configurations), winring.el (named
window configuration rings), escreen.el (emacs window session manager),
gnus-win.el (window layouts in `gnus-buffer-configuration').
