Thanks, that was what I thought. That is why I am suggesting the
defmacro. I think it would be useful and it is not dangerous to
introduce it. Even in a feature freeze and can be of value to fixing
problems with this strange behaviour of select-window. And the semantic
of the defmacro could be the same even if select-window is "corrected".

And the changes, but since you did not answer to that I guess I was
misunderstanding something there.
