Maybe echo some indication of which two windows are compared (?). Currently `compare-windows' displays in the echo area "Mark set" which is mostly useless. We could overwrite it with more specific messages, e.g. Next difference between window1 and window2 Next match between window1 and window2 No more matching points between window1 and window2 > I'm thinking that having that last-selected window recorded > always might be a good thing, useful for more than just > `compare-windows'.

We already have a lot of `last-...' variables, so a new variable for the last selected window makes sense. Then it would be convenient to compare `(selected-window)' with `last-selected-window'.
