Ok, will do

This is definetly a big hack.  The reason why this is needed is
because the parent window might not actually be a window, it might also
be another split, so it would have to recursivly descent find the first
window.

The only real alternative I can see is that if toggle-window-split
returns a list of spltis to do, and then they are mapped over and done
by toggle-window-split one level higher.

I'll look into how transpose-frame.el deals with this.

Hmm, show your window-tree (or the sequence of splits you did), I tested
with a lot of splits and didn't find this problem.

I see, this should definetly make the function better.

They should be very easy(just changing up the arguments of split-window
to correct combo of above, below, right, left), I'm just
trying to first get the other aspects streamlined, but yes, I do intend
on adding them.

I'll also add flip if you want.
