Ooh! Ooh! They have this in emacs (in emacs-goodies-el).  It's called
`dedicated' mode.  AFAICT (haven't tried it), you say :dedicate, and
thenceforward the frame and buffer (window) are glued together and can
only be changed manually (e.g. by :select -).

You could probably lift most of it verbatim.
