If you want the function to do nothing in that case, you would have to
tell it do nothing. `window-combined-p' can help here.

You probably should use the term "edge" instead of "column". Then you
would see that the function indeed deletes every window whose
corresponding edge has the same coordinate value as that of WINDOW.
