You're welcome.

As long as I have your attention: how about adding some comments
and/or text to respective doc strings to explain what exactly the
following functions do, and why/when are they needed?

  window-normal-size
  window-new-total
  window-new-normal
  window-new-pixel

and the corresponding set-* functions.  Their doc strings are just
tautological repetition of their names, which isn't helpful.  And the
ELisp manual doesn't say a word about them, so the doc strings need to
do a better job, IMO.
