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