Swapping the states of two windows does not swap their identities.
That is, the windows themselves remain where they are, only their
buffers change.  If we changed their previous and next buffers, we
would tell a lie.  And we might introduce some slight inconsistency
because the previous/next buffers of a window are no more elements of
the 'buffer-list' of their respective frames when the windows are on
different frames.  I doubt that has any consequences, though ...

So if you want this change, please provide an option say
'window-swap-states-swap-history' and, if that is non-nil, support the
changes from your 'rotate-window-buffers'.

Thanks, martin
