After playing around I came up with this:

(set-register ?p
        (list (current-window-configuration) (point)))
  
'set-register' wants a list: the window config and a buffer
position

'C-h v register-alist' for some other values you can pass along to
set-register.

Good question.  I've been wanting to do something with
set-register myself but never futzed with it until now.
