Ok, I will model it like set-frame-parameter, frame-parameter. Thanks
for the tip!

How do you feel about the current interface:

delete-other-windows t, inhibits delete-other-windows

other-window numeric arg, the arg will group windows together, when
other-window is performed, only windows in the same group are
considered. I plan to do this by adding an argument to next_window.

The parameters might obvioulsy be renamed.
