I have a hard time understanding what "adjust-window-trailing-edge" can mean. What's a trailing edge? A trailing edge is the bottom or right edge. Can you think of a better name for that? Couldn't we just change the `preserve-before' argument (which is new in Emacs-22 anyway) instead? We could, but note that the new definition would be a cumbersome combination of meanings: Don't move the predecessor windows. Don't delete any windows. Don't shring non-adjacent windows. For this meaning, I think it is better to use a different function. However, maybe we should eliminate the PRESERVE-BEFORE argument now. It was an attempt at doing what we have now done better; perhaps we should get rid of it rather than release it.
