Calling 'window-state-get' to store a side window (or a window-tree that
contains a side window) and later calling 'window-state-put' to restore
the window doesn't keep the window's status as a side window. In other
words, the 'window-side' and 'window-slot' window paramters are not
saved and restored by 'window-state-get' and 'window-state-put'.

I found that by adding the window parameters to
'window-persistent-parameters' (details below), then 'window-state-get'
and 'window-state-put' do save and restore the side window's status as a
side window. Doesn't it make sense to add 'window-slot' and
'window-side' to the default value of 'window-persistent-parameters'? Is
there a reason why it's not the case already?

Thanks,
Bar

recipe:
1. emacs -Q
2. evaluate (e.g. with 'M-:'):
(setq mywin (display-buffer (get-buffer-create "buff1")
'(display-buffer-in-side-window (side . left) (slot . 0))))
3. evaluate:
(window-parameter mywin 'window-side)
returned value: left
4. evaluate:
(window-state-put (window-state-get mywin t) mywin)
5. evaluate:
(window-parameter mywin 'window-side)
returned value: nil
expected value: left

The 'window-slot' window-parameter is likewise reset from 0 to nil at
step 4.

How I modified 'window-persistent-parameters' to fix the problem:
(add-to-list 'window-persistent-parameters '(window-side . writable))
(add-to-list 'window-persistent-parameters '(window-slot . writable))
