Then you have to rewrite the frame management code in addition to the
window management code. For example, the semantics of both `next-frame'
and `next-window' would change.

These would have to be rewritten and adapted accordingly.

`buffer-list' is not part of the window management code. But what would
`window-frame' return? What would the `frame-root-window' of the
`window-frame' of a window be? Or `selected-frame'?
