(I'm going through old bug reports that have unfortunately gotten no attention yet.) I'm not sure I see a use case here. If you're calling this from Emacs Lisp code, then surely you already know what the window you're quitting is, and can just use that. So I'm closing this bug report. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
