I'm wondering if there is a discrepancy between the doc string of quit- 
window and its implementation:  The function is supposed to quit the  
current buffer, but what it seems to do is to quit the buffer in the  
selected window.


(defun quit-window (&optional kill window)
  "Quit the current buffer.  Bury it, and maybe delete the selected  
frame.
\(The frame is deleted if it contains a dedicated window for the  
buffer.)
With a prefix argument, kill the buffer instead.

Noninteractively, if KILL is non-nil, then kill the current buffer,
otherwise bury it.

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."
  (interactive "P")
  (let ((buffer (window-buffer window))
	(frame (window-frame (or window (selected-window))))
