winner-mode (included in Emacs) uses a `post-command-hook' to save old
window configurations due to a lack of
`before-window-configuration-change-hook'. It tries to automatically
keep track of window configuration changes so the user can "go back" to
a previous window configuration without having to have manually "saved"
the old configuration beforehand. It is analogous to how web browsers
keep a history of pages visited in a browsing session. In order to do
that it needs to be notified when the window configuration is about to
change but before the change has actually occurred, so
`window-configuration-change-hook' is not sufficient.
