quit-window is not a solution, because it often kills the window.
I live in a maximized emacs frame which is split vertically in to two
columns, and an indiscriminate use of quit-window quickly destroys that.

In fact, I would like a feature which would make these two side-by-side
windows indestructible (i.e., prevent them from being destroyed other
than by an explicit interactive C-x 0).  I guess I can set their
delete-window parameters to ignore but then

-1- C-x 0 will NOT delete them while

-2- any application which binds ignore-window-parameters to t will
    delete them.

but I digress...

I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
