Restoring windows layout after ediff-regions-wordwise

Restoring windows layout after ediff-regions-wordwise

[Timur Aydin]

Hello folks,

I was looking at a solution to restore my existing window layout after 
quitting ediff and found the following:

https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/7482/restoring-windows-and-layout-after-an-ediff-session

The solution is basically two hooks, the first one saving the window 
layout and the other one restoring it. But this solution doesn't work 
for ediff-regions-wordwise. Both the entry and the exit hooks are 
called, I can see that based on messages I have added there. But the 
window layout is not restored, but instead it is messed up even more. 
What could be the problem?

`save-window-excursion'?

I also remember some explicit method where you'd push the
window state onto some data structure (register? is the word
that comes up ) and then pop (restore) from that.
Don't remember how that happened tho ...
