Remains the question whether `split-window-preferred-function' should
always operate on the selected window or have a window argument. AFAICT
nothing speaks for the window argument but the fact that people may have
customized this already. Omitting the window argument would allow users
to put `split-window-vertically' directly as value of
`split-window-preferred-function' without having to delve any deeper.
