All extra info is easy to get using standard commands: a) point values are easy to get with `C-x =' b) the previous point with `C-x C-x' c) the size of the skipped region with `M-=' The only info that is not obvious is the name of another window compared with the selected window. > 2.

Very handy, especially > given the improvements you've just made. Binding `compare-windows' to a single key `C-=' makes it easy to repeat in a long sequence of its invocations :)
