I haven't followed this thread, and I'm not familiar with the commands in
question.

But if you have a choice between defining foo to be unary or nullary, consider
defining it with &optional: (defun foo (&optional window)...)

That allows use of foo as an object method for windows. That is, given a window,
`foo' is one of the functions that can be applied to it. If defined as nullary,
this is not possible.
