Note that I was not suggesting the possibility of removing the
capability of having multiple buffers in a window --- since that is
already implemented, even though I don't use it myself, I certainly
don't it expect it would go away.  Likewise, although in Emacs the
minibuffer is in some sense just a normal buffer, in Conkeror it is
handled separately, and also isn't going away.

Rather, I was asking about how useful a potential new feature of
allowing multiple "panes" in a single top-level window in the same way
that you can create multiple "windows" (in Emacs terminology) in a
single top-level frame (in Emacs terminology) using e.g. C-x 2 and C-x
3.  (Although Conkeror originally used Emacs terminology of "frame"
meaning a top-level window, I have since changed it to use the more
conventional terminology of a top-level window being called a window,
and reserving the term "pane" to be equivalent to a "window" in Emacs
terminology.  This was done because the word "frame" is already commonly
used in web browsers to mean an embedded web page inside another,
created using e.g. IFRAME or FRAMSET elements, and it seemed quite
desirable to allow the term "frame" to refer unambiguously to a
(possibly embedded) content web page.)
