We could easily handle that by having `window-state-put' return the
window actually used for putting the state into and use that in
`window-swap-states'. Yet someone else might use `window-state-put' in
much the same way as `window-swap-states' does and we have a quite
incompatible change: We nowhere say that the window used as second
argument of `window-state-put' will be live if it was so before, but we
neither say that it can be deleted. So I'm not sure what to do ...
