Initially I didn't store that value. But binding `window-splits' to
non-nil can be useful when you want to show with one command many
buffers on the same frame like in `Buffer-menu-select'. If you think
it's not useful, I can easily restore the older version where I just
look at the value of `window-splits' (`Buffer-menu-select' could use
`balance-windows' as well).
