Subject: 25.0.50; `other-window' doc string should say that by default it
 selects win in same frame
Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2015 19:33:46 -0800 (PST)

The doc string does not describe the default behavior: select another
window in the same frame, if there is one.

The doc string refers to the doc for `next-window', for the reader to
find out what ALL-FRAMES does - even for the default, nil, case.

It is fine to refer to `next-window' for ALL-FRAMES (e.g. for full
understanding and for non-interactive use).  But surely the default
interactive behavior should be described.
