Note that you can always tweak specifiers in a way such that displaying
buffers fails iff the current way of splitting would fail as well. Just
that `display-buffer' is less convenient for the application programmer.

So you _do_ want to embed ediff windows in your frame layout?

I'll push my recent changes by the end of the week, hopefully.

I think ECB has the same problem. It's very annoying when you have
overlays with a window property. These won't apply any more after the
change.
