bug#3142: 23.0.92; split-window-prefered-function should be able to use split-window-horizontally/split-window-vertically |

That's not obvious! I like the idea of the split window thresholds, but it
needs to be a lot more obvious how to use them. What's wrong with my
suggestion to change the customize interface to have two more options "Always
split vertical" and "Always split horizontal" that calls the appropriate
functions?

`split-window-preferred-function', if non-nil, must be a function called
with a WINDOW as single argument. `split-window-vertically' and
`split-window-horizontally' are functions that split the selected window
and take a SIZE argument. Hence, when you set
`split-window-preferred-function' to `split-window-vertically' as you
did you will get a
split-window-vertically: Window height 1 too small (after splitting)
error because you call `split-window-vertically' with a window as
argument, and `prefix-numeric-value' when called with a window as
argument returns 1, a SIZE argument disliked by `split-window'.
Sounds contrived, but I don't have a better explanation.
If you really need `split-window-preferred-function' use
`split-window-vertically' you have to write a wrapper like
(defun my-split-window-function (window)
(with-selected-window window
(split-window-vertically)))

Setting `split-width-threshold' nil for "always split vertically" and
`split-height-threshold' nil for "always split horizontally" should
accomplish that. Can't you use these directly?
