Why does this not just replace `frame-configuration-to-register', i.e., C-x r f? What are the differences? In particular, what, if anything, does `frame-configuration-to-register' let you do that `frameset-to-register' does not let you do? I understand that a frameset is Lisp-readable, so it can be persisted. But it's not clear why one would use `frame-configuration-to-register' if `frameset-to-register' is now available.=20 I can guess that `frame-configuration-to-register' might be quicker, but what are the real, user-level differences that would mean that a user might want both to be available (and bound to keys)?
