Only specialized users would be able to write such a function. And they
can use the 'delete-window' parameter for that purpose.

>      (lambda ()
>        (let ((new-frame-selected-window
> 	     (window-at-pos
>                (+ (nth 0 frame-selected-window-edges)
>                   (car frame-selected-window-pos))
>                (+ (nth 1 frame-selected-window-edges)
>                   (cdr frame-selected-window-pos))
>                frame t)))
>          (and new-frame-selected-window
>               ;; Select window at WINDOW's position at point.
> 	     (set-frame-selected-window
>                frame new-frame-selected-window))))))

I'm completely lost with the scoping of that first `let'.  So at least
for a poor soul like me such a solution would not be feasible at all.
