  22 /* Windows are allocated as if they were vectors, but then the
  23 Lisp data type is changed to Lisp_Window.  They are garbage
  24 collected along with the vectors.
  25
  26 All windows in use are arranged into a tree, with pointers up and down.
  27
  28 Windows that are leaves of the tree are actually displayed
  29 and show the contents of buffers.  Windows that are not leaves
  30 are used for representing the way groups of leaf windows are
  31 arranged on the frame.  Leaf windows never become non-leaves.
  32 They are deleted only by calling delete-window on them (but
  33 this can be done implicitly).  Combination windows can be created
  34 and deleted at any time.
  35
  36 A leaf window has a non-nil buffer field, and also
  37  has markers in its start and pointm fields.  Non-leaf windows
  38  have nil in these fields.
  39
  40 Non-leaf windows are either vertical or horizontal combinations.
  41
  42 A vertical combination window has children that are arranged on the frame
  43 one above the next.  Its vchild field points to the uppermost child.
  44 The parent field of each of the children points to the vertical
  45 combination window.  The next field of each child points to the
  46 child below it, or is nil for the lowest child.  The prev field
  47 of each child points to the child above it, or is nil for the
  48 highest child.
  49
  50 A horizontal combination window has children that are side by side.
  51 Its hchild field points to the leftmost child.  In each child
  52 the next field points to the child to the right and the prev field
  53 points to the child to the left.
  54
  55 The children of a vertical combination window may be leaf windows
  56 or horizontal combination windows.  The children of a horizontal
  57 combination window may be leaf windows or vertical combination windows.
  58
  59 At the top of the tree are two windows which have nil as parent.
  60 The second of these is minibuf_window.  The first one manages all
  61 the frame area that is not minibuffer, and is called the root window.
  62 Different windows can be the root at different times;
  63 initially the root window is a leaf window, but if more windows
  64 are created then that leaf window ceases to be root and a newly
  65 made combination window becomes root instead.
  66
  67 In any case, on screens which have an ordinary window and a
  68 minibuffer, prev of the minibuf window is the root window and next of
  69 the root window is the minibuf window.  On minibufferless screens or
  70 minibuffer-only screens, the root window and the minibuffer window are
  71 one and the same, so its prev and next members are nil.
  72
  73 A dead window has its buffer, hchild, and vchild windows all nil.  */
