Presumably, more than 90% of all calls of `split-window' are made to display another buffer in the new window, so doing a `set-window-buffer' with the old window's buffer doesn't strike me as very reasonable. Alternatively, we could try to show the current buffer in the new window as `make-frame' does but I'm not very fond of such a solution and it certainly would break things in a number of cases. martin
