I won't object your suggestions but please keep in mind that I designed
the window state functions to work in two contexts:
(1) Restore the window layout of a frame or internal window so it can be
replayed within a window of a frame. This makes it possible to
easily switch between layouts with side windows (something the IDE
gurus wanted) and back.
(2) To save and restore frame layouts between sessions.
Converting states to configurations and back is a different and pretty
hairy task.
