I do not know how it is implemented so I can't say exactly how. What I
mean is that they should be handled by those part as they did not
exist. (That of course means for example jumping over them in some
lists etc.)

Rotating the visual window structure. Transposing the visual window structure.
Buffers should move with the windows (visulally).

In that case there are code in winsav.el for it.
