Truth be told, the docstring in 22.X wasn't very clear. The function
is called quit-window, but it talked about burying/killing the buffer,
and only off-handedly said:

"If window is non-nil, it specifies a window; we delete that window,
and the buffer that is killed or buried is the one in that window."

(Incidentally, that's the reason I defined quit-buffer-and-window in
the first place; with your changes, my function would be just an alias
for quit-window).

Yes, it works as expected now.

Thanks,
