Martin mentioned in passing that he thinks iconifying frames on ttys
should perhaps do something. So it's maybe a "not yet".

Yes. C-x 5 2 can make a new root frame, and only one is visible on
the display.

raise-frame is make-frame-visible + changing z-order, make-frame-visible
and make-frame-invisible change the "visible" flag. (Just notices
make-frame-visible talks about "X window", hm.).

Did you mean these doc strings should be changed, too, or did you mean
something else?
