Somewhat more exciting than splitting is that it will be possible to
decouple buffers from windows.  You will be able to move buffers from
window to window.  Currently though, we have a lot of code in conkeror
built on the assumption that a buffer is fixed in one window, so the
overall direction of that roadmap I posted is to rewrite those parts of
conkeror.  "Internal window management" almost follows as a consequence of
window/buffer decoupling, so the two features will evolve together.
