Naturally, I want to know what this means, so I read the rest of the *Help* buffer. Nada. Well, the `t' is explained, but not the `clone-of'. Not very helpful help. So I search the Elisp manual. I come across nodes `Window Configurations' and `Window Parameters'. The latter, in particular, seems like it should list the possible parameters, including `clone-of', which is the parameter saved in a window config by default. Nada. Again, the CDR of `window-persistent-parameters' is described (possible values nil, t, writable), but nothing about the CAR - its possible values. Again, not very helpful help. Please document the possible values for the CAR, at least the most common ones, and at the very least `clone-of', which is apparently the only one saved/restored by default (at least on MS Windows). Please describe the window parameters: what they are, what behaviors they affect, and how. Describing a window configuration as a saved set of window parameters is not very useful if one cannot find out what the parameters are or what they do.
