In the functions `buffer-list' and `other-buffer' the buffers in the
selected frame's `buffer-list' come first, followed by the rest of the
buffers from the global value of `buffer-list', and buffers from the
selected frame's parameters `buried-buffer-list' come last.

Doing the same for the window-local parameter `buffer-list',
i.e. when `buffer-list' will return a list composed of

 window-local buffer-list
 frame-local buffer-list
 global buffer-list
 frame-local buried-buffer-list
 window-local buried-buffer-list

then `quit-window' and all occurrences of `other-buffer'
in window handling code should do the right thing like
`view-return-to-alist' does (i.e. to get the right buffer).
