Right.

Please read Eli's complaints in the discussion of bug#24368

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=24368

to understand why I made the change.  You now have to explicitly set the
'no-delete-other-window' parameter of a side window in order to preserve
it from being deleted.  This parameter works for any window, BTW.

I forgot to fix the doc-string of ‘delete-other-windows’ accordingly and
hopefully did that now.  Please have a look.

Thanks, martin
