I suppose we can safely do

	   #'(lambda (window _value)
	       (unwind-protect
		   (apply function args)
		 (with-selected-window window
		   (when (window-live-p window)
		     (quit-restore-window window 'kill)))))

instead if people think it's better.  But FUNCTION "should not
manipulate files, just read input \(an argument or confirmation)." so I
don't see why this matters.
