Subject: bug#23621: 25.1.50; Buffer in >1 window; winner-undo recover window point
Date: Fri, 27 May 2016 00:37:57 +0900 (JST)

For users editing same buffer in differente windows
it may be useful if `winner-undo' could restaure
also the window point from each window.

;; visit same file in 2 windows
./emacs -Q -mm -eval '(progn
                        (find-file-read-only "../src/window.c")
                        (winner-mode 1)
                        (goto-char 1000)
                        (split-window-right)
                        (other-window 1)
                        (goto-char 30500))'

M-! ls ~ RET ; C-x 0 ;; C-x 1 ;;; C-x b
C-c <left>

;; `window-point' return 30500 value for both windows.


;; You may want to preserve > 2 buffr positions.
;; Following example visits different positions of the same
;; buffer in 4 windows.
./emacs -Q -mm -eval '(progn
                        (find-file-read-only "../src/window.c")
                        (winner-mode 1)
                        (goto-char 1000)
                        (split-window-right)
                        (windmove-right 1)
                        (goto-char 30500)

                        (split-window-below)
                        (windmove-down 1)
                        (goto-char 50000)

                        (windmove-left 1)
                        (split-window-below)
                        (windmove-down 1)
                        (goto-char 250000))'

;; As before `window-point' is not preserved for all windows.
