I'm not sure what the TRT is here. But if we later decide that a slot
is the wrong thing, we can at any time turn "nest" into a parameter
(maybe together with "dedicated" and "fixed-size"). Our experience with
parameters is still meager and I wouldn't want to destabilize the
current code more than necessary.

For me it's neither trivial to understand nor trivial to implement. So
I'd be very glad if you gave it a stab. You can't break much - earlier
Emacsen always failed to recombine the windows from my example.
But I wonder where and how people would want to use such a variable.
