Comments welcome. Thanks a lot for working on this! This will need a NEWS entry. A question: would it make sense to invert the meaning of the 'slot' parameter when the main window shows a buffer whose bidi-paragraph-direction is right-to-left? The idea is that when the main window shows R2L text, the entire geometry of the window arrangement should switch direction, at least optionally, otherwise applications that want that will have to include tedious code to recompute the slots on the fly.
