Do you mean those features are yet to be implemented? BTW, they were
mentioned in the elisp info file.

Let me use this for illustration:
______________________________________
| ______ ____________________________ |
|| || __________________________ ||
|| ||| |||
|| ||| |||

|| |||____________W4____________|||
|| || __________________________ ||

||__W2__||_____________W3_____________ |
|__________________W1__________________|
If I put speedbar buffer in W2, I want those window operations to think
as if W3 is the ``frame root window''. So for example, C-x 1 should not
delete W2. C-x 0 should never have W2 occupy the whole frame.
Is this currently possible?

Unfortunately that would mean difficulty to try it out but I guess I can
wait until 24.1 is released.
