The question is whether it makes any sense for two packages to ever
share one and the same margin.  I doubt that.  And if one package uses
the left and the other package uses the right margin, they will have to
reach some sort of agreement when trying to auto-adjust margins.

But you are aware of the fact that ‘window-splittable-p’ is used only by
the buffer display functions.  All other ‘split-window’ calls (including
C-x 3) don't care about it.
