Subject: Subwindow terminology
Date: Sat, 05 Nov 2011 12:36:52 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87wrbfrxqz.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)

I don't understand the term "subwindow" in the new window code.  What's
the difference between a subwindow and a child window?  If there is
none, we ought to refer to "child window" throughout, instead of adding
another equivalent piece of jargon.
